[Cbe-oss-dev] 2.6.26-rc6 kernel bug on PS3?

Hi Stefan,

Looks like this is caused by doing the mmput() while the state mutex is 
held in spu_forget.

In your case, the mm is the final reference to the context, so this is 
resulting in a destroy_spu_context, which requires the state mutex :)

I'm going to take a look at the sequencing of spu_forget, but would like 
to write a test case. Could you tell us about the exit path of your 
program?

Cheers,


Jeremy
