The latest 2.6.12-rc5-mm2 tree fails to boot on some of the 64p
SGI systems. The system hangs immediately after printing:
...
Inode-cache hash table entries: 8388608 (order: 12, 67108864 bytes)
Mount-cache hash table entries: 1024
Boot processor id 0x0/0x0
Brought up 64 CPUs
Total of 64 processors activated (118415.36 BogoMIPS).
I have isolated the failure to cpu 0 hanging in sched_balance_self() during
a fork (or clone). The "while" loop at the end of function never
terminates, ie. sd is never NULL.
Is this a problem that you have seen before. If not, I'll do some
more digging & isolate the problem.
Hi Jack,
I have not seen this problem, however I don't think it has
had much testing with multilevel NUMA domains.
If you could do some more digging that would be great, however
I plan to get time on a 64-way IA64 next week and look at
some scheduler issues, so I'll keep this in mind if you haven't
made any progress.
Thanks,
Nick
