SubjectRe: [PROBLEM] hard-lock with kmemtrace, relayfs, and splice
after doing a

git clone git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/kmemtrace.git

I reboot the OS and encountered several application crashes.....the
logs are as per attached....please comment.

for bug0 and bug1, the system go into a state of complete
non-responsive, even connecting via SSH into the system becomes
impossible, and bug0 and bug1 was generated just before it goes into
this state.

for bug2, the mouse seemed to respond, i managed to output the dmesg
(which is bug2 itself).

any comments?
