Hello! I am hitting this WARN_ON_ONCE() in process_one_work() and am wondering what I did wrong to make this happen: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ static void process_one_work(struct worker *worker, struct work_struct *work) __releases(&pool->lock) __acquires(&pool->lock) { struct pool_workqueue *pwq = get_work_pwq(work); struct worker_pool *pool = worker->pool; bool cpu_intensive = pwq->wq->flags & WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE; int work_color; struct worker *collision; #ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP /* * It is permissible to free the struct work_struct from * inside the function that is called from it, this we need to * take into account for lockdep too. To avoid bogus "held * lock freed" warnings as well as problems when looking into * work->lockdep_map, make a copy and use that here. */ struct lockdep_map lockdep_map; lockdep_copy_map(&lockdep_map, &work->lockdep_map); #endif /* ensure we're on the correct CPU */ WARN_ON_ONCE(!(pool->flags & POOL_DISASSOCIATED) && raw_smp_processor_id() != pool->cpu); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is the splat: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [12600.593006] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6 at /home/paulmck/public_git/linux-rcu/kernel/workqueue.c:2041 process_one_work+0x46c/0x4d0 [12600.593006] Modules linked in: [12600.593006] CPU: 0 PID: 6 Comm: mm_percpu_wq Not tainted 4.11.0-rc7+ #1 [12600.593006] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Ubuntu-1.8.2-1ubuntu1 04/01/2014 [12600.593006] Call Trace: [12600.593006] dump_stack+0x4f/0x72 [12600.593006] __warn+0xc6/0xe0 [12600.593006] warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x20 [12600.593006] process_one_work+0x46c/0x4d0 [12600.593006] rescuer_thread+0x20e/0x3b0 [12600.593006] kthread+0x104/0x140 [12600.593006] ? worker_thread+0x4e0/0x4e0 [12600.593006] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x40/0x40 [12600.593006] ret_from_fork+0x29/0x40 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This happens about 3.5 hours into the TREE03 rcutorture scenario, .config attached.
