-[[!meta title="Fix libdiskfs Locking Issues"]]
-
-Nowadays the most often encountered cause of Hurd crashes seems to be lockups
-in the [[hurd/translator/ext2fs]] server.  One of these could be traced
-recently, and turned out to be a lock inside [[hurd/libdiskfs]] that was taken
-and not released in some cases.  There is reason to believe that there are more
-faulty paths causing these lockups.
-
-The task is systematically checking the [[hurd/libdiskfs]] code for this kind of locking
-issues. To achieve this, some kind of test harness has to be implemented: For
-example instrumenting the code to check locking correctness constantly at
-runtime. Or implementing a unit testing framework that explicitly checks
-locking in various code paths. (The latter could serve as a template for
-implementing unit checks in other parts of the Hurd codebase...)
-
-(A systematic code review would probably suffice to find the existing locking
-issues; but it wouldn't document the work in terms of actual code produced, and
-thus it's not suitable for a GSoC project...)
-
-[Linux' *sparse*](https://sparse.wiki.kernel.org/) could be worth looking at.
-
-This task requires experience with debugging locking issues in multithreaded
-applications.
-
-Possible mentors: Samuel Thibault (youpi)
-
-Exercise: If you could actually track down and fix one of the existing locking
-errors before the end of the application process, that would be excellent. This
-might be rather tough though, so probably you need to talk to us about an
-alternative exercise task...
