It was long suspected that there was a locking problem, but the thought of auditing the entire code was daunting until it was discovered that there was no problem if the host ran VB 6.1.40. It did not matter what version the guests were running. That essentially eliminated every code part except for vboxdrv.ko. That made the audit be tractable. There were two files and a total of 8 places where the locking was suspect. When those places were changed, the lockups while using 7.0.6 host code were no longer observed. The lockups were infrequent, thus it is impossible to say that we have fixed everything, but the frequency is clearly diminished. The final patch will be attached. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
