: Scheduling while atomic on rmmod - 2.6.0-test5,6

Hi,
I 've tried to give a 'dirty' solution to the lock at ahc_linux_exit. I 'm on a UP, so I thought it might not cause that much trouble. It seems, however that there are more locks that prevent aic7xxx from exiting. (see the trace below).

...

	/*ahc_list_lock(&l);*/
	TAILQ_FOREACH(ahc, &ahc_tailq, links) {
		ahc_linux_kill_dv_thread(ahc);
	}
	/*ahc_list_unlock(&l);*/

...

Have you had any look into the matter? Do these traces mean that *nobody* will manage to remove the module?

Trace of the 'next' problem..
