Like everyone, the most possible matching traces, locking states, and other states (irq, atomic, ...), well it depends on the particular case. The best thing is to provide a way to reproduce it, that's what you did, so that we can use specific tracers for specific issues. > What sort of areas interest you? You mean, what I'm interested in the kernel? All the kernel :-) Though I have a preference for the kernel core, and improving tracing because I'm lazy and I like when there are tools which do most of the things for me. > -- > Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/
