As I mentioned in the branch of the discussion which lost the Cc: LKML, this kind of bug looks like requiring a good look at the interaction of raw1394's and ohci1394's locking (and maybe ieee1394's, but this seems less likely).
It's hard work, and I don't have much experience with the code in question nor do I have much time at the moment nor is there anybody else who fixes ieee1394 subsystem bugs on a regular basis. Nevertheless, this kind of bugs should still be fixed in the "old" drivers. They haven't reached their end of life yet. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== =--- =-=== http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - 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/
