Thanks for the patch, Linus.
This seems to be a definite improvement -- I was able to keep our box
up under moderate load for about 10 minutes before it went down hard again,
which is about a 20-fold improvement.
It's unclear to me whether this crash is the same problem or a different one--
the kernel oopses did look different, but unfortunately they weren't being
logged to a file.
I'm in the process of backporting this to 2.0.33 to rule out any new
2.1 "features" (Has anyone already done this? I see your porting hints in
my mailbox right now...). I'll let you know how this turns out.
Thanks again -- it's great to be making forward progress here :-)
Bill
