Hello,
I am currently looking into an issue where a host sporadically locks up. I will retrieve the SYSRQ+P tomorrow when I am back at the machine. Until then, here's the real question:
Given that some kernel code (possibly a module) runs in an infinite loop, and thus not giving back control to the user (in an UP environment), is there a possibility to force a schedule? Something like the normal scheduler does to processes ("you got your timeslice, and not more"), but also when they are in kernel mode.
