Re: help with diagnosing kernel oops in __mutex_lock_slowpath

[Stan Hu]

Unfortunately, with this board I am using, it would be a significant
effort for me to get 3.6 or 3.7 running.  Do you have any suggestions
of what I should look for in the 3.2 kernel?

For now, I've worked around it by enabling the panic=10 and
panic_on_oops kernel=1 options to reboot when this happens.  The
system seems to come up fine after another try or two.
