I read your patch and there's nothing related to such fix in your patch. I won't have much more time to follow up on this thread. From now on about the highmem deadlocks topic I will only listen to real world bugreports of 2.4.5 plus the bugfix I posted a few minuts ago. If anybody is able to reproduce the deadlocks press SYSRQ+T and send me the output along the System.map. Thanks in advance for your cooperation. Andrea
