I do not think stop-machine will help, unless that spinning is protected by preempt-disable. If the task gets preempted after grabbing the owner thread_info, and then stop-machine runs, the memory disappears, the task is scheduled back, accesses the owner thread_info and then page-fault. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
