Can you replicate this in 2.4.8ac8, and if so where is it sleeping according to ps wait queue data
I've had a couple of similar reports against 2.4.8 and early 8ac. I'm curious if its still a problem as Im not aware of any reason it should have been fixed by the vm fixups - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
