I have isolated the problem a little bit. Here's what I do: struct buffer_head *bh; sector_t sector = 0; bh = __bread(bdev, sector, bdev_get_queue(bdev)->hardsect_size); brelse(bh); sector++; bh = __bread(bdev, sector, bdev_get_queue(bdev)->hardsect_size); brelse(bh);
And I get this error: BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#1!
