Debuging soft locks.


I am writing a kernel module, but am getting soft locks when using a particular function sometimes. So far my debugging methods have been "printk" seeing where things stop, and work on that area.

That method has not been of much help in this particular case for whatever reason so how would I go about debugging this?

I found it. It was a loop.
