So I don't understand how you got into a loop unless the kmem_cache list
walk-through is the real problem. If you were to print out the "cache"
address each time through the do-while loop, does the list start repeating
itself?
And if that's true, perhaps the kmem_cache_init() should use the
hq_open()/hq_enter()/hq_close() facility on each cache address to
catch a duplicate (false) entry.
And if that's true, does the attached patch help?
Thanks,
Dave
