OK, I'm wrong here. I just tried it again and it didn't deadlock (that
must have been another lock I was dealing with). But it does test if the
buffer head is locked or not, and asserts if it is. I'm running the
following patch with on problems so far. I still use the lock bits to
determine if the bh state is locked.
Do you and Ingo think that this would have too much contention.
Ingo, I still get the following bug because of the added BUFFER_FNS and
DESKTOP_PREEMPT. I haven't tried this with RT yet. I'll see if this shows
a deadlock there.
