We've run into an issue (on 2.6.10) where calling "lsof" triggers lost

Can you reproduce with a recent kernel? Lots of latency issues have
been fixed since then.
Unfortunately I have to fix it on this version (the bug was found on
shipped product), so if there was a difference I'd have to isolate the
changes and backport them. Also, I can't run the software that triggers
the problem on a newer kernel as it has dependencies on various patches
that are not in mainline.
Basically what I'd like to know is whether calling schedule() in
seq_read() is safe or whether it would break assumptions made by
seq_file users.
