where file_move() (via dentry_open) has obtained the files_lock (global lock
handled by file_list(un)lock() macros). The subsequent interrupt kicks off
do_softirq() that ends up in proc_kill_inodes() waiting for the same lock. 

Upstream patch available.

Comment 10 Wendy Cheng 2005-07-07 23:17:19 EDT 
The problem can be fixed either by

* restructuring snmp (patch embedded in comment #2) or 
* changing vfs locking macros (patch proposed to rhkernel-list). 

Since our discussion had been focusing on vfs locking macro, no one remembered
to check the snmp patch. It turns out it (snmp) has been committed sometime ago
in U1.

Case closed.
