I've been playing with arm vendor kernels lately (probably the same codebase) and doing some filesystem backporting... it's possible but not for the faint-hearted. You did sysrq-t; if sysrq-w is supported in the kernel it will give you only the tasks in blocked state, which may show a deadlock more clearly? -Eric > I will try with LOCKDEP and see what happens. > > Thanks a lot. > > Dimitar </blockquote></body></html>
