I think you have some other problems. That's an external abort, which means that the original vmalloc'ed memory was not mapping RAM but some empty physical address space. That's unless strex hits device memory and not having an exclusive monitor causes such external abort. But vmalloc() memory is Normal Cacheable. Some pointer could go wrong and it hits ioremap'ed memory which is in the same range as vmalloc'ed memory. -- Catalin -- 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/
