You mean, interrupts are not really disabled when forking ? :-)

So, I am afraid the new fpu_counter optimization is buggy: if a task
forks with fpu_counter greater than 5 and is preempted right after
prepare_to_copy in dup_task_struct, when the system switches back to
this task, the task FPU context will be restored and TS_USEDFPU set in
the task flags, thereby voiding the effect of prepare_to_copy.
