From: GOTO Masanori Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2006 05:55:29 +0000 (-0800) Subject: [PATCH] x86: Fix i386 nmi_watchdog that does not trigger die_nmi X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc6~71 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b884e25784f62a1c740d2e4c1ce19cb89644e986;p=linux-2.6 [PATCH] x86: Fix i386 nmi_watchdog that does not trigger die_nmi Fix i386 nmi_watchdog that does not meet watchdog timeout condition. It does not hit die_nmi when it should be triggered, because the current nmi_watchdog_tick in arch/i386/kernel/nmi.c never count up alert_counter like this: void nmi_watchdog_tick (struct pt_regs * regs) { if (last_irq_sums[cpu] == sum) { alert_counter[cpu]++; <- count up alert_counter, but if (alert_counter[cpu] == 5*nmi_hz) die_nmi(regs, "NMI Watchdog detected LOCKUP"); alert_counter[cpu] = 0; <- reset alert_counter This patch changes it back to the previous and working version. This was found and originally written by Kohta NAKASHIMA.
