Please describe the crash in detail? How could this be?
This patch introduces deadlocks as discussed earlier because slab destroy may call kfree which may have to take the list lock itself. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
