For example having: [ 3992.316/0] [<ffffffff81297751>] ? neigh_create+0x2f1/0x6b0 [ 3992.321/0] [<ffffffff81374f00>] ? _read_unlock_bh+0x10/0x20 means that _read_unlock_bh has been called & finished ? Or it has been interrupted by next function in trace (neigh_create). Any other info about interpreting call traces are welcomed. thanks, Daniel. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
