Hello Linus,
Sorry if it's my fault that I do not understand the above message completely. But from the above it's not completely clear to me which kernel versions (2.6.2?.? releases) are affected and which are not affected by the performance and correctness issues due to the interaction between the semaphore implementation and the preemptable BKL. Can someone please be so kind to post the affected kernel versions ? And whether or not this issue was triggered probably depends on the CONFIG_... options with which the kernel was built ?
Bart.
