thanks alot for testing this. The scheduler queue is now looking good in 
testing, will probably send a pull request to Linus later today.

Tested with CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED set and it also works as expected.

I just rebuilt 2.6.25-rc1-git2 with Ingo's patch and your patch on top,
 and the Oracle VKTM issue is still gone even with

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ grep GROUP_SCHED
/share/src/linux-2.6.25-rc1-git2-orafix/.config
CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED=y
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=y
CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=y
# CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED is not set

 so it's good for me.

Or is it necessary to also enable CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED and retest ?

Did you enable CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED (it defaults to n)?

If you didn't, could you try with it set to y?

The problem is fixed for me as well with the previous patch + the patch
 below, VKTM now enters S state and Oracle shuts down properly again.

ok, we just found the reason for the 8-way crash, the delta fix from 
Peter is below if any of you have tried the previous combo patch. 
Updated sched.git as well, new HEAD is

Well, I've already bisected that down to commit
6f505b16425a51270058e4a93441fe64de3dd435 "sched: rt group scheduling" and
provided a simple test case.  Moreover, there are patches from Peter that fix
the problem, but they are lost somewhere in the way from him to you (please see
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/5/535 and http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/6/320).

Thanks,
Rafael

Ok, that's git ID's

b47711bfbcd4eb77ca61ef0162487b20e023ae55 2.6.24-git1
9b73e76f3cf63379dcf45fcd4f112f5812418d0a 2.6.24-git2

so if you get a git tree, you can do

gitk b47711b..9b73e76

to see what happened in there. 

However, the obvious candidates are the scheduler or the ocfs2 merge, and 
the latter is only relevant in case you use ocfs2, of course. 

The rest of it tends to be the DVB and SCSI updates.

But it would be great if you could do a bisect and verify. Just do

git bisect start
git bisect good b47711bfbcd4eb77ca61ef0162487b20e023ae55
git bisect bad 9b73e76f3cf63379dcf45fcd4f112f5812418d0a

Yes, I think this is the same problem.  Please try to unset CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED

The problem is fixed for me as well with the previous patch + the patch

 2.6.24-git1 is okay
 2.6.24-git2 is bad
 ...
 2.6.24-git20 is bad

 Only differences in kernel .config between -git1 and -git2 are

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] src]$ diff .config-2.6.24-git[12]

  # Linux kernel version: 2.6.24-git1

  # Linux kernel version: 2.6.24-git2

  CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU=y
  # CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU is not set

  # CONFIG_SCHED_HRTICK is not set
 755a760
  # CONFIG_PATA_NINJA32 is not set
 1807a1813
  # CONFIG_LATENCYTOP is not set

 Symptom is similar to what Rafael reported here

   http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0801.3/4114.html

  and similarly VKTM attempts to run at elevated priority as normal
  user process (Oracle kernel binary is not setuid root).


 Peter Zijlstra's patches mentioned in the above thread, at

  http://programming.kicks-ass.net/kernel-patches/sched-rt-group ,

  do not appear to be in -git20 yet.


 I'm available for further testing. Thanks, ciao,

Only to add that 2.6.25-rc1 is still broken.

thanks,

 Ok, that's git ID's
 
   b47711bfbcd4eb77ca61ef0162487b20e023ae55 2.6.24-git1
   9b73e76f3cf63379dcf45fcd4f112f5812418d0a 2.6.24-git2
 
 so if you get a git tree, you can do
 
   gitk b47711b..9b73e76
 
 to see what happened in there. 
 
 However, the obvious candidates are the scheduler or the ocfs2 merge, and 
 the latter is only relevant in case you use ocfs2, of course. 
 
 The rest of it tends to be the DVB and SCSI updates.
 
 But it would be great if you could do a bisect and verify. Just do
 
   git bisect start
   git bisect good b47711bfbcd4eb77ca61ef0162487b20e023ae55
   git bisect bad 9b73e76f3cf63379dcf45fcd4f112f5812418d0a
 
 and off you go..

Well, I've already bisected that down to commit
6f505b16425a51270058e4a93441fe64de3dd435 sched: rt group scheduling and
provided a simple test case.  Moreover, there are patches from Peter that fix
the problem, but they are lost somewhere in the way from him to you (please see
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/5/535 and http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/6/320).

Thanks,
Rafael
