--- Comment #2 from Mel Gorman
This makes me suspect the SoN patches.
Why the SoN patches? (other than they have been the source of a number of problems recently) In this case, I very strongly suspect what is missing is commit [b44129b3: mm: vmstat: use a single setter function and callback for adjusting percpu thresholds] from the mainline kernel. It has been backported to 2.6.37.stable as commit [776be476: mm: vmstat: use a single setter function and callback for adjusting percpu thresholds] which might explain why the mainline kernel works. The patch was merged into -stable due to a report complaining about the same sort of lock inconsistency. I'll attach the patch in a separate post for convenience. Does the stable tree get automatically pulled into the openSUSE kernel? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
