Subject: 2.4.33pre1 kernel/sysctl.c missing spin_unlock()
Date: Thu, 05 Jan 2006 16:26:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43BD3AB7.9020003@is-kassel.org> (raw)

possibly fixed yet, but maybe not:

in above patch there was a spinlock(&sysctl_lock) added in 
function do_register_sysctl_table(), but no corresponding 
spin_unlock() before return.

after starting the new kernel (unfortunately with further 
patches), it hangs on trying to start the kswapd-thread.

after inserting the spin_unlock() all run fine.
