From deac66ae454cacf942c051b86d9232af546fb187 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keshavamurthy Anil S Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 15:19:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: fix bug when probed on task and isr functions This patch fixes a race condition where in system used to hang or sometime crash within minutes when kprobes are inserted on ISR routine and a task routine. The fix has been stress tested on i386, ia64, pp64 and on x86_64. To reproduce the problem insert kprobes on schedule() and do_IRQ() functions and you should see hang or system crash.
