I still has that bug with 2.4.18-pre7, and it has this patch applied.
stack traces are:
p1: schedule() devfs_de_revalidate_wait() cached_lookup() lookup_hash() sys_unlink() system_call()
p2:
schedule() wait_for_devfsd_finished() devfs_lookup(() lookup_hash() unix_bind() sys_bind() sys_socketcall() system_call()
the thing that they are tring to create/remove is /dev/log.
And devfsd is already running in that state:
__schedule() __down() __down_failed() __text_lock_namei()
This has worked normally until now, it has beggining to fail yesterday.
Later, Juan.
