I tried to reproduce the old bug but I failed, no matter how many patches I backout. However this isn't the -stable that was advertised initially if patches like this are merged, given that it's unclear if the old deadlock will come back or not. If I got an answer within a week and not with a delay of half year after I posted the fix for the deadlock we would be in a better shape, since perhaps I could still reproduce it somehow (I could reproduce it in a reasonable amount of time half an year ago). It's possible that scheduling and userland changes may have hidden the deadlock (the deadlock requires buggy userland and a sigsegv in gdb to reproduce, so if gdb is doing any better that could be hidding it). It's also possible that the bug was fixed in some other way, so I will try again after going back to the sp3 codebase that shouldn't have changed *that* much.
