Jeff Mahoney	Re: possible circular locking in reiserfs_removexattr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks for the report. I have a patch queue I'm hoping to send to -mm next week that cleans up the xattr code a lot and makes the locking quite a bit saner. It's been in openSUSE for a few generations, so hopefully there won't be a long incubation before it hits mainline. - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHv2G/...

Stephen Oberholtzer	How to diagnose a process stuck in D state? First off: I'm not subscribed to the list (I don't think I could handle the volume), so please make sure you CC me if you reply. I run an application on one of my machines; it often hangs, with the process stuck D state. When this happens, the process sticks around until I reboot the machine. I have tried the following to start diagnosing the problem: * Running 'ps -axl' shows "-" in the wchan column. * The contents of /proc/pid/wchan say "_stext". * 'strace -p pid' says "Process pid attached...

Greg KH	Re: [patch 00/23] 2.6.22-stable review Hm, no, I really don't want to do a .22 release after this next one. We already have a .23 and .24 -stable releases going, I don't have the time or energy to keep .22 running as well. It had a nice long life, it's time to just let it go :) thanks, greg k-h --	Feb 22, 6:32 pm 2008

It turns out that it's a buffer overflow problem which is made easy by the way get_user_pages() is coded. In particu... [ message continues ]	Feb 22, 5:40 pm 2008
