Hi,

My 2-cpu EM64T machine started showing this problem again on 2.6.14.
On some reboots, X seems to spin in the kernel forever.

sysrq-t output shows nothing.

X             R  running task       0  3607   3589          3903
(L-TLB)

top shows:
 3607 root      25   0     0    0    0 R 99.1  0.0 262:04.69 X


So, I wrote a module to do smp_call_function() on all CPUs
to show stacks on them. CPU0 seems to be spinning in exit_mmap().
I did this multiple times to collect stacks few times.

Is this a known issue ?

Thanks,
Badari
