Subject: Re: [BUG 2.6.25-rc3] scheduler/hotplug: some processes are
	dealocked when cpu is set to offline

I found priority of some processes is always 0 but they are highly
related to this kind of deadlock.

What does Priority 0 mean? When and in which case is it's priority
changed to 0? When can it's priority be restored to one higher value.

A simple script to get priority 0:

===================================================================
#!/bin/sh

for file in `ls /proc/*/sched`
do
        prio=`grep prio $file | awk '{print $3;}'`
        if [ "X$prio" == "X0" ] ; then
                echo "`head -n 1 $file | awk '{print $1}'`: $prio"
        fi
done
==================================================================
