All issues with ev4+smp/preempt and ev5+smp/preempt should be fixed with the two incremental patches I posted last week that make PF_MEMDIE a TIF_MEMDIE and used_math a PF_USED_MATH and that fixes the PF_MEMDIE race that existed on all archs in mainline 2.6 and that AFIK Wli even managed to reproduce once. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
