The do_SAK() function is called from within interrupt context.
It acquires several process-level spinlocks. This can deadlock.
It is fairly trivial for an unprivileged user to deliberately
deadlock the kernel of a system which has SAK enabled.
So this patch moves do_SAK() into process context.

The interrupt checker checks for inconsistent interrupt states. For
example, if a function has one exit point with interrupt disabled, and
another exit point with interrupt enabled, the checker will report an

Sounds like the only thing you haven't swapped out of your machine is the
ram/cpu.
It could very well be your ram (I don't suspect the cpu). If you can, try a

On my redhat 7.1 machine I have been using the 2.4.0 redhat kernel and
mounting ISO's to loop devices and it worked fine. I upgraded to a 2.4.2
kernel and now none of the ISO's will mount. They all hang when the
command is run. Are there any other known occurences of this?

The problem:
When both nls_iso8859_8 and nls_cp1255 are compiled into the kernel
(=Y), init_nls_iso8859_8() is called before init_nls_cp1255() - this
causes iso_8859_8 to call request_module() which obviously fails.
