Hi Greg, Please consider to apply this patch in the staging tree, as the description says it fixes a crash in tidspbridge driver, this bug was already present but it seems to have surfaced by recent tests made by Felipe and Tuomas. It is an urgent fix for 2.6.38. More on this discussion: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1351446 Thanks, - omar From: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@xxxxxxxxx> We need to protect not only the dmm_map list, but the individual map_obj's, otherwise, we might be building the scatter-gather list with garbage. So, use the existing proc_lock for that. I observed race conditions which caused kernel panics while running stress tests, also, Tuomas Kulve found it happening quite often in Gumstix Over. This patch fixes those.
