OOPS in __copy_user_zeroing_intel

["Chris Friesen" <cfriesen@nortel.com>]

Hi all,

We're running a modified 2.6.10 on a dual-Xeon system.  We've had a 
number of instances where we've seen oopses in the pipe code.  I've 
included the most recent one below.  This bug left us with a hung 
process as the pipe code bailed out while pipe_writev() was holding a 
sema, and another process was blocked waiting for the sema.

Is anyone aware of bugs that were fixed in the pipe code since 2.6.10?

Thanks,

Chris
