Re: kerneloops.org oops/warning report for the week endingFebruary 7, 2010

[Paul E. McKenney]

OK...

For the include/linux/rcutiny.h oops, do these systems allow NMIs to
nest or something similar?

Does anyone have one that they would be willing to take test patches
for?  (Not that I am sure yet just what I am going to test, but I expect
I will think of something.)

							Thanx, Paul
