Perhaps more likely, the 'mm_lock' mutex hasn't even been initialized yet. We appear to have had that problem with matroxfb and sm501fb, and it may be more common than that. See commit f50bf2b2. That said, I do agree that the mm_lock seems to be causing more problems than it actually fixes, and maybe we should revert it. Krzysztof? Linus
