Subject: [161/165] [IA64] Fix spinaphore down_spin()
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:16:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100730171514.186002717@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100730171550.GA1299@kroah.com
2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
commit b70f4e85bfc4d7000036355b714a92d5c574f1be upstream.
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 a just a few hours.
Broken since 883a3acf5b0d4782ac35981227a0d094e8b44850
