Obviously the first couple lines of this concern me a bit. But I think
actually this might just be a catalyst for another bug. You could view
that function as basically just:

while (something)
schedule();

And I guess in the process of calling the scheduler a lot, which toggles
interrupts a lot, something got wedged.

Curious, though, I did try to reproduce this, to no avail. My .config is
https://xn--4db.cc/rBvHWfDZ . What's yours?


Attached. My qemu command line is

Okay, thanks, I reproduced it. In this case, I suspect
try_to_generate_entropy() is just the messenger. There's an earlier
problem:

This in turn is because __flush_tlb_pending() calls:

static inline int mm_is_thread_local(struct mm_struct *mm)
{
return cpumask_equal(mm_cpumask(mm),
cpumask_of(smp_processor_id()));
}

__flush_tlb_pending() has a comment about this:

* Must be called from within some kind of spinlock/non-preempt region...
*/
void __flush_tlb_pending(struct ppc64_tlb_batch *batch)

So I guess that didn't happen for some reason? Maybe this is indicative
of some lock imbalance that then gets hit later?

I managed to bisect that problem. Unfortunately it points to the
scheduler merge. No idea what to do about that. Any idea ?
I am copying Peter and Ingo for comments.
