Subject: Error using the buffer cache

I've written a module that acts as a cache for fixed size objects but I'm
getting a soft lockup using the buffer cache as backing storage.

I've attached the code that reproduces the error. You need to supply the module
with a valid block device, i.e. insmod disk_cache.ko devname="/dev/hda2".

Thanx.

P.S: It's the first time I'm writing here, please be gentle...
