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...


Sincerely,
    Lars Marowsky-Brée <lmb@suse.de>
