Subject: [patch] softlockup watchdog: fix Xen bogosity
Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 13:44:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070717114453.GA8212@elte.hu> (raw)
Subject: softlockup: fix Xen bogosity
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
this Xen related commit:
commit 966812dc98e6a7fcdf759cbfa0efab77500a8868
Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
Date: Tue May 8 00:28:02 2007 -0700
Ignore stolen time in the softlockup watchdog
broke the softlockup watchdog to never report any lockups. (!)
print_timestamp defaults to 0, this makes the following condition
always true:
if (print_timestamp < (touch_timestamp + 1) ||
and we'll never report soft lockups.
apparently the functionality of the soft lockup watchdog was never
actually tested with that patch applied ...
[ this is -stable material too. ]
