Subject : Linux 3.0-rc5 doesnt boot and hangs at rcu_sched_state () Submitter : RKK <kulkarni.ravi4@gmail.com> Date : 2011-06-29 13:38 Message-ID : BANLkTikW6Xk8UMsOHLCnLn7STRzy8RaiJA@mail.gmail.com References : http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=130935402722869&w=2 This entry is being used for tracking a regression from 2.6.39. Please don't close it until the problem is fixed in the mainline.
Can you set up the SysRq key as described in Documentation/sysrq.txt? This might help you get some information about what the system is doing during the wait time. My guess is that your kernel is spinning with interrupts disabled, and that RCU eventually tries to complain about this. The possible causes of this are listed in Documentation/RCU/stallwarn.txt.

Created attachment 65352 [details] Fix for Ravi Kulkarni
It looks like I accidentally sent the real patch privately to Ravi, so I linked in the correct patch above. Florian, please accept my apologies for the confusion.
No problem at all. It's just book-keeping which will sort itself out later anyway. It should in no way impede on any development/bugfixing. Thx for the note though. Ignore-Patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/10/282 Patch: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=65352
Hi I tested with Peter's patch below https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/12/150 and Paul's patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/12/313 also works fine for me now. thanks.
