The trace you posted earlier looked like it (or how would you interpret it?). You could stray some more printk() into that function to see if it is entered and exited when ifconfig hangs. If those printk say that dmx_section_feed_release_filter is already exited, but SysRq-T says it hangs there, then ARGH again... Maybe someone else has a better idea, but I guess enabling debug options and adding addtional printks and doing some experiments is the only way to find out where it hangs. Johannes
