SubjectRe: [PATCH] lock troubles in pre6-2
   From: Rusty Russell <rusty@linuxcare.com.au>

The mm and pcmcia ones look particularly interesting.

For the mm/vmscan.c one, the "fix" is wrong.
If "result" is ever non-zero, the functions called
have dropped the lock already. See "try_to_swap_out" which is the
only place from non-zero return values can originate in these paths.
