Submitter : Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Date : 2009-04-17 15:15 References : http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123998145109946&w=4 Handled-By : Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@amd.com> Patch : http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/19378/ Notify-Also : Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> This entry is being used for tracking a regression from 2.6.29. Please don't close it until the problem is fixed in the mainline.
I had this too, and can confirm cherrypicking the patch from tip/x86/urgent fixed it here.
The patch is in 2.6.30-rc4, again confirmed as working. That's mainline, so this bug should be closeable now. =:^)
