I am familiar with that area and I am resonably sure that this is an issue on IA64 under some conditions (the processor decides to spill some registers either onto the stack or into the register backing store during tlb processing). Recursion (in the kernel context) still expects the stack and register backing store to be available. ccing linux-ia64 for any thoughts to the contrary. The move to 64k page size on IA64 is another way that this issue can be addressed though. So I think its best to drop the IA64 portion. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
