Hi all,

I am getting kernel stack overflows with v3.13-rc8 on a system with P2020 CPU.
The kernel is patched for the target, but I don't think that is related.
Stack overflows are in different areas, but always in calls from __do_softirq.

Crashes happen reliably either during boot or if I put any kind of load
onto the system.

How about the following fix:

Wow. I've been staring at that code for 15mn this morning and didn't
spot it ! Nice catch :-)

Yes, great catch! That fixes the problem.

I assume you or Kevin will take it from there ?

Thanks,
Guenter
