I keep seeing the RCU stall problem on panda board from 3.10 kernel to latest

Is it the hardware issue or a real software problem?

I cannot distinguish between hardware and software from the trace below,
but given that you are also seeing a soft lockup, either way you do
appear to have a real problem as opposed to an RCU CPU stall warning
false positive.

Looks like you have CPU_IDLE enabled on panda. Hangs with current linux
next with CPU_IDLE are currently being discussed on the linux-omap list
in thread "omap4-panda-es boot issues with v3.15-rc4"

I've seen occasional system hangs, and I've also noticed that doing
ctrl-a-f h or ctrl-a-f l for sysrq backtrace can unlock the system
producing similar errors to the below.


Thanks a lot for the info.
In fact, the oops keeps in upstream kernel from 3.10 to latest.

Care to test if the revert of commit cb7094 Santosh posted as
"[PATCH] ARM: OMAP4: Fix the boot regression with CPU_IDLE enabled"
solves the problem for you?


After enable this patch, system maybe hang in idle. :(

Hi Alex,

do you mean even with this revert applied, the board hangs in idle ?
