Subject: Hang in sched_balance_self()
Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2005 17:55:44 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050603225544.GA8499@sgi.com> (raw)
Nick -
The latest 2.6.12-rc5-mm2 tree fails to boot on some of the 64p
SGI systems. The system hangs immediately after printing:
...
Inode-cache hash table entries: 8388608 (order: 12, 67108864 bytes)
Mount-cache hash table entries: 1024
Boot processor id 0x0/0x0
Brought up 64 CPUs
Total of 64 processors activated (118415.36 BogoMIPS).
I have isolated the failure to cpu 0 hanging in sched_balance_self() during
a fork (or clone). The "while" loop at the end of function never
terminates, ie. sd is never NULL.
Is this a problem that you have seen before. If not, I'll do some
more digging & isolate the problem.
