Subject: Re: [regression] Latest git has WARN_ON storm with e1000e driver
Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2008 17:55:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200810031755.55931.borntraeger@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.LFD.2.00.0810030825190.3262@nehalem.linux-foundation.org>

I got an idea,


kernel_init does lock_kernel (which does preempt_disable).
The kernel_unlock is done in init_post. As far as I can see, this happens 
after the driver init calls.
