Description Prarit Bhargava 2007-11-05 18:17:41 UTC
Description of problem:

Backport upstream c4f3b63fe15b4629aa1ec163c95ab30423d0f76a to RHEL5

This allows a user to set the softlockup_thresh value when booting a system.
Useful for larger systems (256p and up) where we've seen bogus softlockup
warnings.

Attached patch was succesfully compiled and tested.

Comment 3 George Beshers 2007-11-05 18:31:45 UTC
Is there some reason not to include your comment #3 from
BZ#253124 in this patch?

Mostly thinking of saving Don some work.


Comment 4 Prarit Bhargava 2007-11-05 18:36:42 UTC
Hmmm ... I guess we could do that, but IMO maybe it's better to stick with
upstream?  Let's see how people react to the first patch -- and if you want,
feel free to raise an objection on rhkernel-list...

Hi,
the RHEL5.2 release notes will be dropped to translation on April 15, 2008, at
which point no further additions or revisions will be entertained.

a mockup of the RHEL5.2 release notes can be viewed at the following link:
http://intranet.corp.redhat.com/ic/intranet/RHEL5u2relnotesmockup.html

please use the aforementioned link to verify if your bugzilla is already in the
release notes (if it needs to be). each item in the release notes contains a
link to its original bug; as such, you can search through the release notes by
bug number.

Cheers,
Don
