On that note:

+++ linux-2.6/kernel/mutex.c
@@ -220,7 +220,9 @@ __mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock,
__set_task_state(task, state);

/* didnt get the lock, go to sleep: */
+ preempt_disable();
spin_unlock_mutex(&lock->wait_lock, flags);
+ preempt_enable_no_resched();
schedule();
spin_lock_mutex(&lock->wait_lock, flags);
}
