BUG: spinlock wrong CPU on CPU#1, fgBT878/1849 (Not tainted)

[Alan McIvor]

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade a device driver from FC2 to FC5 and am running
into the problem shown below. This is on a hyperthreading P4 3GHz
running kernel 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp. It also happens using kernel
2.6.16-1.2096_FC5smp. There are 16 devices in the machine. For each
there is a fgBT878 process, running at the max SCHED_FIFO
priority. If I reduce the number of devices to 1 or 2, the problem
doesn't appear to happen (i.e., with 16 devices the panic happens
pretty much straight away, with 1 or 2 devices I have run for an
hour). I have no problems with a non-SMP kernel.

What sort of errors should I be looking for in my driver code?

Thanks
