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.
Created attachment 248501 [details] RHEL5 fix for this issue
Is there some reason not to include your comment #3 from BZ#253124 in this patch? Mostly thinking of saving Don some work.
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... P.
