That's awesome news, thanks for validating. Note that with Aubrey's
patch there is still a race window if sched core is being
enabled/disabled (ie. if you alternate between there being some
cookies in the system, and no cookies). In my reply I posted an
alternative version to avoid that. If your script were to do the
on-off flipping with the old patch, you'd might eventually see another
lockup.
