Message-ID: <20080219185848.22304.75764.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2008 18:58:49 +0000 From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com> To: torvalds@...l.org, akpm@...ux-foundation.org Cc: linux-am33-list@...hat.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, dhowells@...hat.com Subject: [PATCH 1/4] MN10300: Call update_process_times() outside of the xtime_lock Call update_process_times() outside of the xtime_lock. Somewhere somewhere inside one of the functions called by that, xtime_lock is readlocked, which ends up in a deadlock situation.
