Hi!

just wanted to find out how far the rabbit hole goes ...

browsing the source, I found the folowing
locations for possible s_info races ...

forget_original_parent()
goodness()
schedule()
update_process_times()
vc_new_s_context()

and of course similar is true for ip_info :(

there are two 'general' solutions to this
issue, besides the obvious one (adding tons
of lock/unlock pairs)

 * replace alloc/dealloc with get/put and
   change if (x->s_info) ... to if (.._get(x->s_info))

 * add a dummy s_info/ip_info for the host
   context (this can result in data corruption)

so I guess we are going for the get/put approach

best,
Herbert
