Subject: [PATCH] Prevent NMI oopser
Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 10:47:24 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <41F5F98C.7020004@sw.ru> (raw)

Marcello, Andrey

I believe this patch is wrong.
First, it prevent nothing: NMI watchdog is a signal that you wait too 
long with disabled interrupts. Your controller was not answered too 
long, obviously it is a hardware issue.
Second, you could not call schedule() with io_request_lock spinlock taken.

You should unlock io_request_lock before msleep, like in latest versions 
of megaraid2 drivers.

Please fix it.

Thank you,
      Vasily Averin, SWSoft Linux Kernel Team

#   > We should backport msleep() in 2.4.29-pre1.
#
#   Ok, msleep() backported, but driver isn't fixed. This patch
#   acceptable?
#
#   Prevent NMI oopser kill kernel thread when megaraid2 driver waiting
#   abort or reset command completion.
