It would be better to just audit the source for those. Outlawing something which was previously legal without auditing the source is bad. Anyways, i suspect it would just lead to more people disabling softlockup. I remember during some older stress testing it also tended to explode regularly, so e.g. SUSE kernel rpms have it disabled. That patch would probably make it worse. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
