SubjectPATCH 2.4.18-rc2-ac1: hang on spinlock in "expand_stack"
From
Date
Alan:

I've enclosed a patch against 2.4.18-rc2-ac1, but it appears the same
bug still exists in 2.4.19-pre1-ac1. The "ac"-branch version of
"expand_stack" in "mm/mmap.c" has a code path that doesn't unlock the
spinlock. I noticed when a "gdb" bug tickled it and locked up my
machine.
