If that is indeed the source of your change_bit function then there is
a problem. However in my kernel tree there is a LOCK_PREFIX in the
definition of the atomic version. I don't have your exact source tree
handy, but on a local RHEL4 system, the LOCK_PREFIX is still there:
static inline void change_bit(int nr, volatile unsigned long * addr)
{
__asm__ __volatile__( LOCK_PREFIX
"btcl %1,%0"
:"=m" (ADDR)
:"Ir" (nr));
}
- R.
