hm, that was supposed to shut itself off after 100 messages:if (unlikely(clone_flags & (CLONE_DETACHED|CLONE_STOPPED))) { static int __read_mostly count = 100; if (count && printk_ratelimit()) { char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; count--; printk(KERN_INFO "fork(): process `%s' used deprecated " "clone flags 0x%lx\n", get_task_comm(comm, current), clone_flags & (CLONE_DETACHED|CLONE_STOPPED)); } } I don't see how you got 151 instances. I guess I'm having another stupid day.
It looks like a simple race, two threads do count-- before doing if(count), resulting in an almost infinite loop. Probably.
atomic_test_and_dec might work. - 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/
