Hi , I work for Montavista (Cavium Inc) as a Technical Lead . I want to push some of the kernel patches to rt community (2.6.32 kernel 2.6.33 rt patch) , so that It will go to the main line These patches are reviewed and approved by our system Architect. I request you to include in the main line . These issues were reported by our customer CISCO. Problem Description: >From time to time, the following warning appears in the kernel logs on x86, OCTEON Plus and Octeon II: NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 Root Cause: In run_ksoftirqd, _local_bh_enable() is used to enable bottom half. This does not kick off softirq processing. How Solved: In run_ksoftirqd, _local_bh_enable() has been replaced with local_bh_enable() to enable softirq processing . Here I am attaching the patch for the above bug . If any questions please contact me at sshaiju@xxxxxxxxxx (shaiju_sada@xxxxxxxxx) Regards, Shaiju.
