Subject: Re: [-mmotm] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper
Thanks for getting back to me on this guys. Yes I am using mmotm, the
daily -mm broken out tree... THe bug happens while booting, and it
shows up many times. Anyway I checked microcode_intel.c and the
function in question looks like this:
static int __init microcode_intel_module_init(void)
{
struct cpuinfo_x86 *c = &cpu_data(get_cpu());
if (c->x86_vendor == X86_VENDOR_INTEL)
return microcode_init(µcode_intel_ops, THIS_MODULE);
else
return -ENODEV;
}
I will try the changes in he patch in Jame's post.... and report back. THanks.
-Ryan
