Hi Andrew,

I was playing with kexec+kdump and ran into this on 2.6.10-mm1.
I have seen similar behaviour on 2.6.10. 

I am using a 4-way P-III machine. I have a module which tries
gets same spinlock twice. When I try to "insmod" this module,
my system hangs. All my windows froze, no more new logins,
console froze, doesn't respond to sysrq. I wasn't expecting
a system hang. Why ? Ideas ?

Here is the code.

Thanks,
Badari
