This deadlock has been around since 2.4.0-test1. However, sine 2.4.0-test1
there has been a large improvement. I have to try much harder now to kill my
boxes. As for the IRQ state I'm not sure I've never checked. Since my test
machines are fairly stable I'm actually using them to do some massive data
processing. Once all my processes have completed I'll try the cat /dev/hda >
/dev/null & thing and monitor the IRQ state. Actually come to think of it
how do you find out the IRQ state for a particular device?
