Hello,

I have 2way Opteron machine. I've done this:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

and then strace stat /proc:

[snip]
personality(PER_LINUX)                  = 4194304
getpid()                                = 14926
brk(0)                                  = 0x804b000
brk(0x804b1a0)                          = 0x804b1a0
brk(0x804c000)                          = 0x804c000
stat("/proc", 0xbf8e7490)               = -1 EOVERFLOW

When I do echo 1 > ... to start cpu again then the stat starts
to work again ... Weird.


boggle.

Can you add this patch, see where it's going bad?

Ehh .. I finally learned how to code jprobe (I can't reboot the machine now),
tested, installed and ... guess what ? The overflow bug is gone :-(
It simply works now.
I will reboot it next week and try again.

thanks for a help and sorry for your wasted time,
Martin
