SubjectRe: [linux-usb-devel] khubd and ent:sda1 sucking CPU with reiser4 + USB HD

I think, if a process is looping, it's not shown in SysRq-t. So maybe
khubd is on a CPU.

In RHEL we have a patch for SysRq-w, which showed all CPU states by
the way of a special IPI (unless looping with closed interrups, of course).
But this capability seems a bit degraded in stock SysRq-w. It might not
catch this (does not seem for me in 2.6.20).

Another possibility is, something killed khubd. It's only a process
after all. Remember how we had grief with it being killed by "telinit 1".
