I'm no MIPS expert, but this looks like a problem with the waiter_list in struct rw_semaphore: Dump of assembler code for function __down_write_nested: 0x80530ee4 <+0>: addiu sp,sp,-48 0x80530ee8 <+4>: sw ra,44(sp) 0x80530eec <+8>: sw s1,40(sp) 0x80530ef0 <+12>: sw s0,36(sp) 0x80530ef4 <+16>: mfc0 v1,c0_status 0x80530ef8 <+20>: ori at,v1,0x1f 0x80530efc <+24>: xori at,at,0x1f 0x80530f00 <+28>: mtc0 at,c0_status 0x80530f04 <+32>: lw v0,0(a0) 0x80530f08 <+36>: beqz v0,0x80530fa4 <__down_write_nested+192> 0x80530f0c <+40>: addiu a2,a0,4 tsk = current: 0x80530f10 <+44>: lw s0,0(gp) set_task_state(tsk, UNINTERRUPTIBLE): 0x80530f14 <+48>: li v0,2 0x80530f18 <+52>: sw v0,0(s0) waiter.tsk = tsk, ... 0x80530f1c <+56>: sw v0,28(sp) 0x80530f20 <+60>: sw s0,24(sp) get_task_struct(): 0x80530f24 <+64>: addiu v0,s0,8 0x80530f28 <+68>: ll a1,0(v0) 0x80530f2c <+72>: addiu a1,a1,1 0x80530f30 <+76>: sc a1,0(v0) 0x80530f34 <+80>: beqz a1,0x80530f28 <__down_write_nested+68> list_add_tail: 0x80530f38 <+84>: addiu a1,sp,16 ; a1 = &waiter.list 0x80530f3c <+88>: lw v0,8(a0) ; v0 = &sem->wait_list 0x80530f40 <+92>: sw a1,8(a0) 0x80530f44 <+96>: sw a2,16(sp) 0x80530f48 <+100>: sw v0,20(sp) 0x80530f4c <+104>: sw a1,0(v0) <===== oops here, because v0 = 0 spin_unlock_irqrestore: 0x80530f50 <+108>: mfc0 at,c0_status 0x80530f54 <+112>: andi v1,v1,0x1 0x80530f58 <+116>: ori at,at,0x1f 0x80530f5c <+120>: xori at,at,0x1f 0x80530f60 <+124>: or v1,v1,at 0x80530f64 <+128>: mtc0 v1,c0_status [...] 0x80530f68 <+132>: lw v0,24(sp) 0x80530f6c <+136>: beqz v0,0x80530f8c <__down_write_nested+168> 0x80530f70 <+140>: li s1,2 0x80530f74 <+144>: jal 0x8052ef94 <schedule> 0x80530f78 <+148>: nop 0x80530f7c <+152>: sw s1,0(s0) 0x80530f80 <+156>: lw v0,24(sp) 0x80530f84 <+160>: bnez v0,0x80530f74 <__down_write_nested+144> 0x80530f88 <+164>: nop 0x80530f8c <+168>: sw zero,0(s0) 0x80530f90 <+172>: lw ra,44(sp) 0x80530f94 <+176>: lw s1,40(sp) 0x80530f98 <+180>: lw s0,36(sp) 0x80530f9c <+184>: jr ra 0x80530fa0 <+188>: addiu sp,sp,48 0x80530fa4 <+192>: lw v0,4(a0) 0x80530fa8 <+196>: bne v0,a2,0x80530f10 <__down_write_nested+44> 0x80530fac <+200>: li a1,-1 0x80530fb0 <+204>: sw a1,0(a0) 0x80530fb4 <+208>: mfc0 at,c0_status 0x80530fb8 <+212>: andi v1,v1,0x1 0x80530fbc <+216>: ori at,at,0x1f 0x80530fc0 <+220>: xori at,at,0x1f 0x80530fc4 <+224>: or v1,v1,at 0x80530fc8 <+228>: mtc0 v1,c0_status 0x80530fcc <+232>: j 0x80530f94 <__down_write_nested+176> 0x80530fd0 <+236>: lw ra,44(sp) Manuel Lauss
