Hi,

Any pointers or help would be of great help for the below issue.

I am trying to run a kernel module in 3.6 kernel and finding a hang
issue ideally seems to be because of locks. I could see the trace as
shown below. Since it is a hang I could see some more traces on screen
but cannot capture them fully.

When I tried KGDB .. I dont see any hang in my target machine other
than the same log in dmesg. Why doesn't kernel hang reproducible with
KGDB ??
