I'm using ARM11 MPCore on linux-2.6.34, unfortunately I have random
panic/segment fault with task migration. I noticed a patch set
[ARM11 MPCore: preemption/task migration cache coherency fixups] to fix
such issues in here:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2011-October/069851.html

It seems there is no follow ups, is there official patch to fix such
issues?
Let's be honest: you haven't given us a lot to go on here. Perhaps you could
answer the following?

(1) Do you experience the same issues with a more recent kernel?
(2) If you apply the patches linked to above, does it fix your problem?
(3) If you can reproduce on current mainline, do you have a testcase?
(4) Does disabling CONFIG_PREEMPT make the problem disappear?

That should provide us with some information about the problem.

Thanks,

Will
