Hi,
This is related to the problem I reported earlier this week: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/30/554
Apparently artswrapper, run by KDE in openSUSE 10.3 with a real time priority, is mishandled by the scheduler. The problem is that after the user logs out, artswrapper stays in TASK_RUNNING forever and prevents other tasks from being scheduled on the CPU occupied by it. In this state it also breaks suspend and hibernation (it cannot be frozen).
Since the problem is 100% reproducible on my test boxes, I carried out a bisection which turned out the following commit:
commit 6f505b16425a51270058e4a93441fe64de3dd435 Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Date: Fri Jan 25 21:08:30 2008 +0100
sched: rt group scheduling
I'm now checking if the problem disappears after reverting this patch (along a couple of dependent ones).
Thanks, Rafael
