[1.] One line summary of the problem:
Hangs under 2.4.2-ac{18,19,24} that do not happen under -ac12.
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
I have had hangs under 2.4.2-ac18, -ac19, and -ac24, after uptimes of
36 hours, 12 hours, and 10 hours, respectively. -ac12 has twice run
for a week without crashing. I didn't see anything in the later -ac
changelogs that looks responsible, but I haven't actually tried them.
All the crashes were under X. The machine did not respond to pings,
and no sysrq keys other than B worked; I didn't hear disk activity
after S, and the disks weren't unmounted. Nothing made it to the
logs. In the -ac19 crash, I had run at the console for about 12
hours, and then started X; it crashed within 15 minutes.
In the one crash that happened while I was at the console, X
completely froze, and sound output stopped. In the others, the
monitor was in power-save mode and didn't wake up.
The hangs don't appear to be related to IO load or anything else I can
think of besides X. Each time, there was a distributed.net client
running, and nothing else that was in any way intensive. I don't
believe any sort of updatedb or makewhatis was running during the
crashes, and it never hung overnight when these jobs run.
I ran with -ac12 with nearly 1300 lines of diff narrowed down from
"interdiff -h ac12 ac18" for about 36 hours in console mode; it hung
within 3 hours of starting X.
When I get home and reboot (following this most recent hang :( ), I'll
put the diff, .config, and more stuff from /proc at
http://manetheren.eigenray.com/~fortytwo/crash-12-18.2
This should be sometime around 8PM CST. (If someone wants the diff
now, email me. I have it here, but I don't want to spam the list with
it.)
This diff wasn't "complete"; some modules (ide-cd, at least) weren't
able to load due to missing symbols.
The diff included all the changes referencing bust_spinlocks(), and
everything to do with the console_sem and the console tasklet/tq. This
included all the changes to printk.c.
It also included the following. In -ac18, this is a BUG(), not a
printk(), but I wanted something I could see while X was running. The
message never showed up. I didn't look to see what the effect of
returning -1 here is, though.

Since I didn't think to copy my .config off the machine, I won't be
able to get to it until tonight. In the meantime, I do remember that
- It's a UP kernel on a UP box
- Celeron kernel and processor
- The hang happens with USB completely disabled
(Though I don't think I ever turned off hotplugging.)
- VTs, console on VT, and console on serial configured
(console was not on serial)
- i810, (Debian unstable) X 4.0.2, with DRI
- PIIX tuning enabled
- Auto-DMA
- No kernel debugging other than SysRq
- No SCSI
- APM was off; don't remember the other pm stuff.
- ecn was on, syncookies off.
- no ip masquerading or firewalling or anything fancy.
- 128M RAM; no HIGHMEM stuff.
I'll be happy to try out patches, configuration changes, and other
suggestions, but I won't be able to tell for three or four days
whether or not it helped.

BTW (and this isn't related to my crash because I didn't include this in
my diff) I noticed this in the difference between -ac12 and -ac18 (and I
believe it's still like this in -ac24):

A few lines earlier in this function, inode->i_op->truncate() is called
without lock_kernel(). Should it also have a lock_kernel(), or is it not
needed there?
