More information: I got /proc to tell me a bit about the queues, and here
are the before-and-after snapshots:
Before (everything is okay):
Devices: ppuser0 (waiting=3), +ppa (waiting=0), lp (waiting=0)
Wait-queue: ppuser0 (waiting=3)
After (doesn't look so good):
Devices: ppuser0 (waiting=3), +ppa (waiting=0), lp (waiting=3)
Wait-queue: lp (waiting=3)
At this point, I can stop ppa and lp, and the situation is that ppuser0
has waiting=3, but the wait-queue is empty.
Tim.
