Hi Neil, turns out your patch did exactly what I did with lock_mddev(), just with a bigger granularity (which I think is a good thing, but I was too shy to introduce a new lock). However, I can still reliably panic the kernel with the sequence I gave on a SMP box, even though the panic now seems to occur in different places... So if you have any further idea what could cause that, I appreciate any hints ;-) I'll go dig in some deeper now and gear up kgdb...
