Hi. In mm/highmem.c:map_new_virtual (in a 2.4.0-t8p1 kernel) we set current's state directly. I believe that using __set_task_state is nicer. The following patch acts out this belief :) Please comment. --- linux-240test8-pre1/mm/highmem.c Thu Aug 24 09:43:36 2000 +++ linux/mm/highmem.c Thu Aug 31 22:39:36 2000 @@ -165,7 +165,7 @@ { DECLARE_WAITQUEUE(wait, current); - current->state = TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE; + __set_task_state(current, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); add_wait_queue(&pkmap_map_wait, &wait); spin_unlock(&kmap_lock); schedule(); -- Regards, Rasmus([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country. -Mayor Marion Barry, Washington, DC - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
