I have a Linux system, running a couple of third party kernel modules. The functionality seems all right except a rare case where kernel timers stop expiring. When the system reaches this state, everything works fine except the functionalities depending upon kernel timers. For example: - "sleep 3" on shell never returns - telnet <to some unreachable host> never returns - sample kernel module registers timer using add_timer. But timer never expires It appears to me that one of third party kernel module is causing this. Before I look into the source code, can someone give some hints about possible reasons where kernel timers may stop working (expiring). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
