RE: ext4: smp_processor_id() in preemptible

[Leyendecker, Robert]

Tim,

I have similar crash, but probably different cause-vector, posted on this list, fedora bugzilla, rt-users but no response so far from anyone. Did you find any work around?  I tried looking at smp code for hints on problem it looks like in my case it could be trying to reschedule work on different CPU at time of crash. However, I admit that I could be way, way off on that cause. In my case, if I hammer my network interface with packets while another app is reading packets, my host locks up and clients are reporting dest unreachables. 

I don't think I have the problem in non-rt kernel. Have you tried booting without smp support?
