On kvm I have seen some rare hangs in stop_machine when I used more guest cpus than hosts cpus. e.g. 32 guest cpus on 1 host cpu triggered the hang quite often. I could also reproduce the problem on a 4 way z/VM host with a 64 way guest. It turned out that the guest was consuming all available cpus mostly for spinning on scheduler locks like rq->lock. This is expected as the threads are calling yield all the time. The problem is now, that the host scheduling decisings together with the guest scheduling decisions and spinlocks not being fair managed to create an interesting scenario similar to a live lock. (Sometimes the hang resolved itself after some minutes) Changing stop_machine to yield the cpu to the hypervisor when yielding inside the guest fixed the problem for me. While I am not completely happy with this patch, I think it causes no harm and it really improves the situation for me. I used cpu_relax for yielding to the hypervisor, does that work on all architectures? p.s.: If you want to reproduce the problem, cpu hotplug and kprobes use stop_machine_run and both triggered the problem after some retries.

The offset to the pt_regs area was wrong, so we weren't looking at the right location for the magic cookie. A trap frame is composed of a "struct sparc_stackf" then a "struct pt_regs", the code was using "struct reg_window" instead of "struct sparc_stackf". Signed-off-by: David S.

Because of the silly way I set up the initial stack for new kernel threads, there is a loop at the top of the stack. To fix this, properly add another stack frame that is copied from the parent and terminate it in the child by setting the frame pointer in that frame to zero. Signed-off-by: David S.

Unless there will be any objection here, I suggest consider the following patch which simply removes the code for the -DI_WISH_WORLD_WERE_PERFECT in the three methods which use it. The compilation errors we get when using -DI_WISH_WORLD_WERE_PERFECT show that this code was not built and not used for really a long time.

If previous window was above representable values of u16, strange things will happen if undo with the truncated value is called for. Alternatively, this could be fixed by some max trickery but that would limit undoing high-speed undos. Adds 16-bit hole but there isn't anything to fill it with.

Here the local hexbuf is a duplicate of global const char hex_asc from lib/hexdump.c, except the hex letters' cases: const char hexbuf[] = "0123456789ABCDEF"; const char hex_asc[] = "0123456789abcdef"; and here to print HW addresses, the hex cases are not significant. Thanks to Harvey Harrison to introduce the hex_asc_hi/hex_asc_lo helpers.

According to David Monro, at least with Natsemi Saturn chips the cassini driver has some trouble with ipv6 checksums. Until we have more information about what's going on here, only use the chip checksums for ipv4. This workaround was suggested and tested by David. Update version and release date.
