[PATCH] simple preemption debug check
This simple check was first suggested by Andrew Morton. Pretty basic - whines if a task exits with a nonzero preempt_count value. I put an identical check in the 2.4 preempt-kernel patch and - sure enough - it was found that XFS essentially disables preemption as it destroys data structures containing locks without first unlocking. The SGI folks are working on that. Anyhow, its a quick and clean solution to debugging potential problems. Patch is against 2.5.7, please apply. Robert Love
