I looked into it more carefully and most of the time I don't actually
get oops but system
just goes unstable. It is allways second time when program is run when
this hang with
munmap() happens.
Program that causes this maps DMA buffer with mmap, uses SNDCTL_DSP_GETIPTR
ioctl() after select() and then copies data from mmap'd buffer into
another buffer. Everything
goes fine until munmap().
It seems to be exactly the same problem that Paul Forgey had run into
and wrote
about in January with subject "oss bug introduced since 2.4.18?".
