Hello.. > I am trying to zero data blocks whenever an unlink is invoked as part > of a secure delete filesystem. Sorry, spoke too soon. set_fs does indeed change segment limit. Sorry for false hint.

Hang usually means "locked" or "race" somewhere. regards, Mulyadi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
