Can some one explain why I see the below crash on Intel Xeon SMP box.
The kernel version is 2.6.11. This is what I'm trying to do in the
driver.
1.Submit a request to a device in 'unlocked_ioctl()' and issue
'wait_event_interruptible_timeout()' for 10 jiffies. There can be many
such outstanding requests issued by different processes and all these
are placed in a queue.
2.The 'wake_up_interruptible()' is issued either from tasklet or a
poll-thread which polls on the status of the request.
3. The request queue is protected using 'spin_lock_bh/spin_unlock_bh'
to be softIRQ safe. I'm stating this to point that
'spin_lock_irqsave/spin_lock_irqrestore' is issued only within waitQ.
If i either not use 'unlocked_ioctl()' i.e. use ioctl() (or)comment
out 'wake_up_interruptible()' call I don't see the crash. Is
wake_up_interruptible SMP safe???
Regards,
kiran
