Specifically, running loops like for(;;); locking the machine up? I noticed this a while back, and have a patch that appears to fix it, but I have no idea (and would really like to know!) why the line that it removes is there in the first place, and I'd like some opinions, if at all possible. An earlier post to l-k garnered only one response, albeit a positive one. m. --- linux-2.1.124/arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S.orig Fri Oct 9 17:26:52 1998 +++ linux-2.1.124/arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S Fri Oct 9 17:32:44 1998 @@ -552,7 +552,6 @@ ret_from_sys_call: cmovne $26,0,$19 /* $19 = 0 => non-restartable */ /* check bottom half interrupts */ - bne $1,ret_from_handle_bh ldq $3,bh_active ldq $4,bh_mask and $3,$4,$2 -- To unsubscribe: send e-mail to axp-list-request@redhat.com with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
