Subject: [PATCH 8/11] x86, UV: remove BAU check for stay-busy
Date: Wed, 02 Jun 2010 16:22:02 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1OJvNy-0004ad-BV@eag09.americas.sgi.com> (raw)
Remove a faulty assumption that a long running BAU request has encountered
a hardware problem and will never finish.
Numalink congestion can make a request appear to have encountered such a
problem, but it is not safe to cancel the request. If such a cancel is
done but a reply is later received we can miss a TLB shootdown.
We depend upon the max_bau_concurrent 'throttle' to prevent the stay-busy
case from happening.
Diffed against 2.6.34 -tip
