I also hacked a kernel compiled with SMP so that it only finds one CPU core. The machine still freezes and causes long ping RTTs and ntp insanity. BTW, I first tried the above test by disabling the second core using the machdep.hlt_cpus sysctl knob. The results were most entertaining. When I tried to run "make index", it would hang early on. It looked like SCHED_ULE was trying to schedule the processes at both ends of a pipe on both CPU cores even though it should have only been trying to use one core. The downstream process would then wait forever in piperd. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
