Hi all,

Ever since we enabled PREEMPT on our Nemo boards [1], we have been experiencing occasional problems with the kernel stack.

Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: srcu_gp_start_if_needed+0x534/0x538
Rebooting in 180 seconds..

We are using the following patches: [2] [3]

We have disabled PREEMPT with a patch [4] again, and since then our Nemo boards have been running perfectly once more.

As the problem with the kernel stack only occurs sporadically, bisection is impossible.

I hope you can fix the kernel stack issue.

Thanks,
Christian
