Comment (by dyqith):
I thought about breaking things into smaller pieces,
but sometimes we won't be able to test some locking mechs when other
locking mechs cause the recursions and deadlocks.
Also, I changed the #define's a lot, which would cause everything to
change anyways.
From what I can tell, the crashes/panics I get now (after applying the
patch) is not from spinlock recursions/deadlocks, but from memory freeing
errors and not holding locks in some places.
So, I guess it solves the original problem of deadlocks/recursions, but
not these two new errors that only show up when the locking mechs are
correct.
Any thoughts ?
