Subject: [PATCH] x86: Fix i386 nmi_watchdog that does not trigger die_nmi
Date: Tue, 07 Mar 2006 11:13:22 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <81irqrknnh.wl%gotom@sanori.org> (raw)
It fixes 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.
Tested with 2.6.15. It's also OK for 2.6.16-rc5.
This was found and originally written by Kohta NAKASHIMA.
