[PATCH] x86: Fix i386 nmi_watchdog that does not trigger die_nmi

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
