Acer Aspire 7750G

Since 3.0-rc5, I get the following at boot:

I get a very similar message during boot with kernel-3.0-0.rc5.git0.1.fc16:

Comment 2 Joshua Covington 2011-07-07 18:21:42 UTC
Any chance to get this fixed before v3.0 is out?
Comment 3 Paul E. McKenney 2011-07-08 16:00:52 UTC
I believe that 3181faa85bd (cfq-iosched: fix a rcu warning), which is in mainline, fixes this problem.  Could you please try it out?
Comment 4 Joshua Covington 2011-07-08 17:18:26 UTC
Commit 2a9d6df425d7b46b23cbc8673b2dfefa4678abdb has been merged into master some hours ago. I'll wail till rc7 is out and report back if it fixes the warning.
Comment 5 Joshua Covington 2011-07-10 20:46:12 UTC
I tested this with kernel-3.0-0.rc6.git6.1.fc16.x86_64. Everything is fine now - no rcu warnings. This bug can be closed now (it is already).
Comment 6 Paul E. McKenney 2011-07-10 23:08:52 UTC
Very good, Joshua!  Thank you for testing this!
Comment 7 Christian Casteyde 2011-07-13 18:43:26 UTC
Fixed in 3.0-rc7
