=================
Impact
------
Kernel crash, due to race explained in upstream bug report:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27142
In practice likely to happen on a highly loaded webserver
Testcase
--------
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=66162
I'll attach to this bug as well.
- Build with gcc -o timedrm timedrm.cpp -lpthread
- Run with "test 250", sometimes you have to run more than one time to get the
oops, but it's very easy to get the crash.
Note: only needed for natty. The problem affects 2.6.35 and later, but
we already got fixes for Maverick/Oneiric through stable, Precise has
the fix in also.
