SubjectRe: GPF in run_workqueue()/list_del_init(cwq->worklist.next) on resume (was: Re: Help needed: Resume problems in 2.6.32-rc, perhaps related to preempt_count leakage in keventd)

Yes, RCX = 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b, and according to decodecode the faulting
instruction is "mov %rdx,0x8(%rcx)". Looks like the pending work was
freed.

Rafael, could you reproduce the problem with the debugging patch below?
It tries to detect the case when the pending work was corrupted and
prints its work->func (saved in the previous item). It should work
if the work_struct was freed and poisoned, or if it was re-initialized.
See ck_work().

Oleg.
