Yes.  Apparently, devfs has some programming flaws.


For now, please just delete the new debug tests in
include/linux/list.h:list_del():

#include <linux/kernel.h>       /* BUG_ON */
static inline void list_del(struct list_head *entry)
{
	BUG_ON(entry->prev->next != entry);
	BUG_ON(entry->next->prev != entry);
	__list_del(entry->prev, entry->next);
}

Those BUG_ON's.
