spin_lock problem in recent kernel

From: Kaoru Fukui <hidden>
Date: 2001-03-28 17:18:03

Hi!

I had tried SMP kernel using paulus rsync tree and 2_4 bk tree.
Since 2.4.3pre6 it has spin_lock problem in both tree.

I used that patch when pre6,pre7
Then I could boot kernel and it's work well.

2.4.3pre8 is not boot that has the other spin_lock problem.
(around ip_tables loading)

When i used this patch when pre6, pre7.

Please check spin_lock problem of pre8 with SMP kernel.

the machine is G4 dual
Thanks

Kaoru

Hi Kaoru,

  I've found much the same as you... however I've also found that the
patch you have below (which is exactly the same as a change I have made
to the kernel I've been debugging) hasn't helped me too much. The
page_table_lock would still get messed up during the boot sequence on
Power3 with SMP on.

  I don't have any other great enlightenment as I'm taking the day off
... be back at it tomorrow!

  Regards,

  Tom
