> Why doesn't it use something like nmi_shootdown_cpus on panic rather than
There are unfortunately a couple of BIOS around that hang randomly when NMIs are used (e.g. common problem on ThinkPads). That broke the neck of the NMI watchdog too. But yes if we had some way to distingush these broken systems from sane ones NMI would be the way to go in panic. -Andi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
