Hi,
I've been getting rcu_sched self-detected stall on one of our test
environment with the following (or similar) log:

(I put report for Linux 3.17 under [2])
This rcu_sched self-detected stall is usually reproduced 2 or 3 times
out of 10 runs, but sometimes even more runs go without issue.
I bisected [1] it to commit
commit 743162013d40ca612b4cb53d3a200dff2d9ab26e
Author: NeilBrown <neilb at suse.de>
Date: Mon Jul 7 15:16:04 2014 +1000
sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions
The only change I noticed is from (mm/filemap.c)
io_schedule();
fatal_signal_pending(current)
to (kernel/sched/wait.c)
signal_pending_state(current->state, current)
io_schedule();
and if I apply following diff I don't see stalls anymore.
diff --git a/kernel/sched/wait.c b/kernel/sched/wait.c
index a104879..2d68cdb 100644
--- a/kernel/sched/wait.c
+++ b/kernel/sched/wait.c

return 1;

return 0;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(bit_wait_io);
Any ideas why it might happen and why diff above helps?
