Subject: [uml-devel] [patch 0/8] uml: some fixes for 2.6.12
Date: Fri, 27 May 2005 03:02:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200505270302.07501.blaisorblade@yahoo.it> (raw)
Now I'm sending some other fixes intended for 2.6.12... they are either very
simple or potentially critical (as the PREEMPT_ACTIVE fix). Some of these
are/were still in -mm queue, but since they seem to have been dropped and
anyway haven't been merged, I'm resending them anyway.
Also, we have one big 2.6.10 regression which is still unfixed: top always
shows ksoftirqd/0 as runnable, while it gets 0% cpu time, and loadavg goes
then to 1.0, while no real load is generated...
Possible culprits could be the IRQ code rewrite, maybe; I've not found what
the hell can be arch-specific for this (except that UML does not support
PREEMPT and that SMP, and locking in general, isn't well tested yet, even if
the biggest problems are just theoretical, luckily).
I've not yet had the time to analyze it successfully (but while looking at
this I saw the PREEMPT_ACTIVE problem, which also extends to other archs, see
my other mail).
