Hi,

I get repeated Oops messages on 2.6.12.2. I get the message on inserting a
module that spawns a kernel thread to perform a task on a group of packets.
The thread runs only a stub routine to simulate delay in serving a group of
packets. The above condition is reached before the thread is invoked by the
packets the first time.

I notice from previous postings that there was a problem with the
free_block in the 2.6.9-rc2 kernel. This appears to be similar
problem. Any pointers will help.
