Subject: [IA64] Fix spinaphore down_spin()
Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:13:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4c2a702125889227ce@agluck-desktop.sc.intel.com> (raw)
Typo in down_spin() meant it only read the low 32 bits of the
"serve" value, instead of the full 64 bits. This results in the
system hanging when the values in ticket/serve get larger than
32-bits. A big enough system running the right test can hit this
in just a couple of days.
