Subject: Fix off-by-one comparison when using apic_flat mode
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 10:20:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1332408028-3727-1-git-send-email-drjones@redhat.com> (raw)
This patch fixes an off-by-one error in the genapic code so that apic_flat
is only used when the maximum APIC ID is less than 8, not also 8 (9 IDs).
Without this patch the kernel may hang when it attempts to process interrupts,
if there are exactly 9 cpus assigned.
