[uml-devel] Deadlock when calling securityfs_create_dir

Hello,

After mounting securityfs like this:

uml# mount securityfs -t securityfs /sys/kernel/security

I load a module which performs these operations:


static void securityfs_init(void)
{
        struct dentry *de;


        printk(KERN_ALERT "securityfs_init\n");
        de = securityfs_create_dir("berlinfw2", NULL);
        if(!de) {
                printk(KERN_ALERT "Can't create security directory\n");
        }
}


Then I've got a deadlock, interruption uml, and showing the stackstrace
gives that:

#0  hard_handler (sig=11) at arch/um/os-Linux/sys-i386/signal.c:11
#1  <signal handler called>

"\001") at kernel/module.c:1991

The module works fine on the host. The host kernel is
2.6.20-16-generic(ubuntu feisty fawn), the uml kernel is compiled from
ubuntu sources.

It seems there is a memory problem in the frame #5, the argument of the call
is wrong!

Any ideas ?
