Subject: Commit cb83b62 fails to boot with a divide by zero error.
Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 08:39:38 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120511133938.GG3751@sgi.com> (raw)

Ingo, there is a breakage in the x86/master branch.

While testing some of our configurations, we found they would not boot.
The following got things working:

--- linux.orig/kernel/sched/fair.c      2012-05-11 06:29:44.000000000 -0500
+++ linux/kernel/sched/fair.c   2012-05-11 06:31:52.217156410 -0500

        /*

We found that reverting the commit:
cb83b62 (x86/sched/core) sched/numa: Rewrite the CONFIG_NUMA sched domain support

also got things working.

Thanks,
Robin Holt
