Subject: [Linux-ia64] size of spinlock_t
Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2002 06:14:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590701905101@msgid-missing> (raw)
In experimenting with new numa lock implementation, I changed the size
of spinlock_t to 16 bytes. The resulting kernel hangs on our SN
hardware just after printing "All processors have done init_idle". Now
it is possible this is something peculiar to the SGI kernels, but I was
wondering if anyone knew of places in the IA64 kernel that "know" that
sizeof(spinlock_t)=8 and don't work correctly if this is changed.
