Bug 172820 – x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.35.5 strange dmesg output

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ilias 2007-03-30 18:08:16 UTC]

Thought, I'd report. Following part of dmesg which disapears by downgrading to 8.34 driver version: 

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001] code: X/3991
caller is kas_GetExecutionLevel+0xb/0x17 [fglrx]

and similar. See attachements for dmesg output.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge ati-drivers-8.35.5
2.dmesg

Actual Results:  
Downgrading to 8.34.8 makes dmesg look fine again


I dont know wether this is serious or if I could correct it. But as games start accelerated its probably not a big thing.

You should report such stuff to ATI (including kernel version and your kernel .config)

There is a bug in the smp code which should be fixed in next major release ( 8.37.x ) until them you should disable the smp or simply deal with it.

ok, thank you for information. 

So I think, with this info bug can be closed, right ? 

Would be ok for me. Thank you.
