Hi,

I've seen this only once, and can't reproduce it.  But here it is anyway:

(Not sure png files are accepted on LKML.)

This occurred in a VM while booting 4.11.0-rc1

Cheers,

Any idea what was happening when you triggered this?  A little context
usually helps quite a bit when tracking things like this down.

Sorry, but I don't have more details.  As I said, I just booted a VM with
this kernel and when I looked again I saw this.  I assumed this happen
during boot.  I had used this kernel in this VM before without problems,
and I still use it -- only saw this once.

I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can gather more info if it happens
again.

Cheers,

It was trying to migrate a process and encountered a NULL deref while
trying to find the destination css_set.  Unfortunately, it's difficult
to tell what went wrong with just the posted backtrace.  If you built
the kernel with debuginfo, the output of addr2line could help quite a
bit.

Thanks.
