Digg This

Ahh. So it's easily repeatable for you.. Do you think you could bisect it? At least a few runs? Even a partial bisection will give a nice (== much smaller) range of commits to be blamed, and might tell us why it started happening..

Unfortunately, it takes forever on this machine to compile a kernel after any bigger changes. I can do it early next week when I have access to my bigger box again.

On the other hand, it should be easily reproducible by anyone else with the same trick, here's what I do:

* configure X to use /dev/input/event* devices
* in an xterm, do something like
rmmod usbhid ; modprobe usbhid
* switch to a VT
* watch kernel crash as X releases the grab on the event device
Mind you, I actually did this with the appletouch driver, but I don't think it makes a difference since the problematic thing is the code that X grabs the device. A trivial program that executes the grab ioctl would probably suffice if you leave it running over a rmmod/modprobe cycle.
