This patch probably solves the issue:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=84b14f181a36eea6591779156ef356f8d198bbfd

The patch were already applied upstream. I've already asked the reporter to test it, via BZ.

Cheers,
Mauro

That's a commit from 2008.

The warning was introduced by this fresh commit (and a followup commit) merged
in the .35 merge window:

| commit 9195291e5f05e01d67f9a09c756b8aca8f009089
| Author: Divyesh Shah <dpshah(a)google.com>
| Date: Thu Apr 1 15:01:41 2010 -0700
|
| blkio: Increment the blkio cgroup stats for real now

IIRC Jens posted a fix for the regression. Jens, what's the status of that?

As the code there started using a raw sched_clock() call for block statistics
purposes, which was a poorly thought out (and buggy) approach:

- it takes timestamps on different cpus and then compares then, but doesnt
consider that sched_clock() is not comparable between CPUs without extra
care

- it doesnt consider the possibility for the sched_clock() result going
backwards on certain platforms (such as x86)

- it doesnt consider preemptability

(There's work ongoing to add a clock variant that can be used for such
purposes, but that's .36 fodder.)

Thanks,

Ingo
