powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed. The function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is still broken. Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on fidvid_mutex and sleeps. It is unclear why this bug is being reported now. Duncan says it appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on 3.5. Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional change. Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting. Maybe something made contention on fidvid_mutex more likely? I don't know. This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu isn't the same as the current one. The code assumes that cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells me is the case. stable: This needs the patch "workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq"; otherwise, the behavior could be horrible.
