Description Atsushi SAKAI 2006-11-14 13:42:19 UTC
Description of problem:

 If we shutdown 2xDomU at once.
 DomU hungs and causes Dom0 hung
 The reason is it is not serialize the time service at previous version.

 This patch serializes the execution of following efi.runtimes.
 - GetTime
 - SetTime
 - GetWakeTime
 - SetWakeTime

Linux/ia64 uses similar spinlocks in the EFI RTC driver.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
 Always

Steps to Reproduce:
 1.shutdown 2xdomU at once.
   xm shutdown xxx;xm shutdown yyy

Actual results:

 DomU shutdown hung and Dom0 hungs.

Expected results:

 DomU shutdown successfully and Dom0 works properly.

Per discussion with Prarit and Aron,
Bug 215507: 
> >   Status-NEW, patch available
(/xen/arch/ia64/xen/fw_emul.c posted Fri Nov 10 12:03:19 - looks mundane)

Should go in RHEL5.0 before RC.

Aron please ACK for devel; QA please ACK/NAK.

Comment 4 Jay Turner 2006-11-20 21:12:26 UTC
QE ack for RHEL5.

Comment 5 Larry Troan 2006-12-04 02:37:06 UTC
Escalating for RHEL5.0 consideration per Thursday's RHEL5 meeting.

Patch available and all 3 ACKs.
Changing status to ASSIGNED. 

Comment 6 Aron Griffis 2006-12-04 23:04:06 UTC
devel ACK

...however this patch was included in the patchset submitted in bug 210637, so
I'm setting this bug to depend on that one, instead of treating this as a
separate patch

Comment 9 Jay Turner 2006-12-13 14:48:41 UTC
Moving this to modified based on comment 6.

Comment 10 RHEL Program Management 2006-12-23 02:39:15 UTC
A package has been built which should help the problem described in 
this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution 
of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does 
not work for you.
