Looks OK - there's no way of stopping the kernel thread anyway. It appears that nobody has tried to use this driver at the same time as software-suspend. At least, not successfully. A strategic try_to_freeze() should fix it. This will become (a little) more serious when cpu hotplug is switched to use the process freezer, and perhaps it breaks kprobes already. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
