Ingo,

What's the reason for this printing out in cpu_idle?

#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT
void notrace preempt_enable_no_resched(void)
{
static int once = 1;

barrier();
dec_preempt_count();

if (once && !preempt_count()) {
once = 0;
printk(KERN_ERR "BUG: %s:%d task might have lost a preemption check!
\n",
current->comm, current->pid);
dump_stack();
}
}

EXPORT_SYMBOL(preempt_enable_no_resched);
#endif

I can understand the above when using preempt_enable_no_resched, when
you know that you still have preemption on, but sometimes (as in
cpu_idle) it is used just before calling schedule. So this check is
pretty much meaningless.

KR,

Does your kernel boot without CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT?
