[1.] NULL pointer deference in con_flush_chars with preempt patch
[2.]
Ok, running with preempt-kernel-rml-2.4.12-ac3-2.patch I had a crash
yesterday. It occured when the machine was under
light load, I had just exited X, and I was logging off a console - I may
have hit ctrl-d twice. I did a little investigating myself, and the
closest I could find in the archives was the problem mentioned in
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/35/1998/11/0/217652/ , except my
crash is occuring at console close instead of open. It may not be
preempt related, just preempt induced :-)
Looks like a race condition on console close, driver_data gets set to NULL
but a interrupt-induced con_flush_chars then tries to access it.
[3.] preempt, console
