Hi,

I can see the following bug report in the kernel 3.1 rc5 dmesg:

Paul McKenney has a patch that solves this oops. You can find it here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131537669921538&w=2

We had discussed getting this into 3.1, but apparently that didn't
happen (yet?). I thought it had been sent upstream with my tested-by,
but I don't see it included in Linus' tree.

Hi,

the patch up there doesn't seem to apply cleanly to 3.1 rc5, as it
misses the rename done in "[PATCH tip/core/rcu 23/55] rcu: Simplify
quiescent-state accounting"
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131537654621392&w=2).

For 3.1-rc5, you will be wanting this one:

Hi,

yes, this applies and makes the stack disappear.

Thanks,
Chris
