Let me put it another way: have you actually experienced any lockups with a vanilla (that is, with no patches applied) 2.6.24-rc6 kernel? Try first with "force_amd_c1e". So far, all I see is that you're getting nohz/dynticks working with my patch, and that's okay, it's the expected behavior. But I seriously doubt that it's my patch that keeps your system from locking up. I'm not bugging you just to clarify this matter, but if your system locked up iff (as in both necessary and sufficient) the patch was _not_ applied, that would be a really serious issue. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
