Hi, > x86_64-fix-config_preempt.patch > x86_64: Fix CONFIG_PREEMPT
This patch causes another bug to show up some lines below with
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL. schedule releases the BKL which it shouldn't do.
Call preempt_schedule_irq instead (like for i386). This seems to fix the
easily reproducible filesystem errors I've seen (with reiserfs, which
heavily relies on the BKL).
