SubjectRe: Fix for thread+network crashes in 2.0/2.1?

Well, I was thinking of a task creating a socket, then doing a fork,
and then both tasks doing a select involving the common socket and some
non-common files. Then the poll tables of both tasks would both refer
the shared socket's sock->wait, won't they?

As with the x.25 problem: I've checked by means of printk()'s at the very end
of x25_release(), that the socket's wait queue is empty before exiting
and the the socket->inode->i_count is always 2. Nevertheless,
it crashes with corrupted sock->wait wait queue in select()'s free_wait().

The select also monitors a pty file descriptor. Maybe the problem is not
caused by af_x25 but by somethink else. Are there certain kinds of bugs
that are known to likly cause socket wait queue corruptions?
