vmalloc allocations in ipc needs smp initialized (and vm must be allowed to schedule in 2.6)
Quoted 5 lines · Andrea
the patch is obviously safe, since no piece of kernel (especially the code in the
check_bugsandsmp_initpaths ;) calls into the ipc subsystem.
What about making ipc_init a proper initcall? I think that's better than moving the ipc_init call around.
