Subject: [6/9] tasklist left locked
Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 15:55:26 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050316235526.GE5389@shell0.pdx.osdl.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20050316235336.GY5389@shell0.pdx.osdl.net>
-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
----
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
On 4-way SMP, about one reboot in twenty hangs while killing processes:
exit needs exclusive tasklist_lock, but something still holds read_lock.
do_signal_stop race case misses unlock, and fixing it fixes the symptom.
