Hi.
I've a recurring problem w/ kernel 2.6.35.x that I cannot pinpoint exactly but seems to be related to rcu_preempt_state stall warnings I get frequently.
From time to time, the machine slows down to an almost halt (meaning jumpy or non-responsive mouse cursor, unable to switch to text console, ...) which can also result in a complete hang w/o any way to recover. Sometimes the system catches up again but once this happened, the system is sluggish and a reboot is required nevertheless. High load seems to help a lot to trigger this issue.
In every instance, I found stall warnings in my log which might be related. I have attached three of them along with my config and dmesg.
The system works flawlessly with pre-2.6.35 kernels- no stall warnings and no slow-downs at all.
If there is anything I can do to help further diagnose this problem, please let me know.
So long, matthias.
