There was some cpu hotplug work recently, and I can't get my head around what happens with a dual cpu system if one core is shut down, specificly with spinlocks. Won't it just hang or spin a lot ? I was thinking the locking was different in the build for uni of multi processors, to eliminate the deadlock risk on a uni processor. I do realise this might not be rt specific, but I'll ask anyhow. / regards, Lars Segerlund. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
