I do.  Admittedly I'm not an expert in how the wchan unwinding works but
we have a slightly older version of this patch in our kernel (schedule_loop
not __schedule_loop). When I added __sched it fixed it.   Maybe there
is something else but that seemed pretty obvious. 


/* Attach to any functions which should be ignored in wchan output. */
#define __sched		__section(".sched.text")

I can't explain why you are not seeing it.


Cheers,
Phil
