Fantastic! It fixes RCU CPU stalls that we were seeing on the SMP
kernel when built for generic Alpha.
A build of glibc and running its test suite reliably triggers RCU CPU
stalls when running a kernel built for generic Alpha. I have just built
glibc and ran its test suite twice with no RCU CPU stalls with this
patch against a 3.5.2 kernel! Nice. Very nice.
I see the stable queue is CCed but I note the patch does not apply
cleanly to the 3.2.y kernel. It would be nice to have a backport of the
patches for the 3.2 stable kernel.
So feel free to add:
