Subject: [BUG] Upon hitting ^c, inotify blocks on mutex_lock
Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2008 16:41:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081213164123.GB7639@flint.arm.linux.org.uk> (raw)

2.6.27.8.

Today, having had gthumb running for a while, I hit ^c expecting it to
quit.  The result was a process with zero VSZ and RSS, and it sitting
in run state.  Only possible recovery action seems to be a reboot.

A sysrq-t reveals the following backtrace for gthumb:
