I have the problem 100% reproducible under 2.0.23. The sequence is a most
bizarre one.

1) umount /proc

I am told "/proc is busy" (!)

2) umount /mnt/dosd

This is a standard msdos FS, and the umount goes fine.

3) Try umount /proc again.

OOPS occurs. I'll try and dig it out of my sent-mail.

These 3 steps are 100% repeatable.


My setup is 2.0.23, possibly with pentium memcpy, kerneld to load many
modules, _quotas compiled in but not in use_ <---- seems to be common to
the OOPSES, and I think I have mandatory lock support. My oops used to
occur in locks_remove_locks I believe.

Unfortunately, when I get my system into a state when I _know_ it will
oops upon umount /proc, doing "cp /proc/kcore ." messes things up, and
the umount reports "/proc: device is busy" again. :-( And I even booted
with mem=4M to get the kcore.gz to fit on a single floppy... :)
