This past week I was playing around with that pahole tool
(http://oops.ghostprotocols.net:81/acme/dwarves/) and looking at the
size of various struct in the kernel. I was surprised by the size of
the task_struct on

On i386/x86_64 smp_call_function_single() takes call_lock with
spin_lock_bh(). To me this would imply that it is legal to call
smp_call_function_single() from softirq context.
It's not since smp_call_function() takes call_lock with just
spin_lock(). We can easily deadlock:

Doesn't /proc/fs/nfsd/filehandle do what you want already?

So either all spin_lock_bh's should be converted to spin_lock,
which would limit smp_call_function()/smp_call_function_single()
to process context irqs enabled.
Or the spin_lock's could be converted to spin_lock_bh
