Unless that changed recently when I wasn't looking NOHZ should only stop timers when the CPU is idle. So when a driver is doing something and the interrupts are not disabled for too long the timers should be ticking. Then when you're idle interrupts should be never off, so the NMI watchdog cannot fire. On x86 often the NMI watchdog is in fact stopped on idle. -Andi -- ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
