Hello Dave, Currently for "bt -a" also swapper tasks on offline CPUs are printed (at least on s390). Wouldn't it be better to only print a backtrace, when the task is running on an online CPU? My suggestion would be to implement that with the following patch by only setting the panic threads for online CPUs. I also attached a second alternative patch that fills the active set array only with tasks on online CPUs. What do you think? Michael
