I am seeing a hard lockup when the lock-free lifo
implementation below is run on a AMD Athlon 64
and ASUS A8V-MX motherboard. GCC version is
gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-47.fc4)
I have run this code on Pentiums without any issue
till now. Also the same code works fine in userland.
I fail to understand as to why the problem occurs
only in kernel mode.
Thanks,
Chaitanya
