Subject[PATCH 2.6.17-rc1-mm1] sched_domain-handle-kmalloc-failure-fix
From
Date
[PATCH] sched_domain-handle-kmalloc-failure-fix

2.6.17-rc1-mm1 hangs during boot on HP rx8620 and dl585 -- both 4 node
NUMA platforms. Problem is in build_sched_domains() setting up the
sched_group_nodes[] lists, resulting from patch:
sched_domain-handle-kmalloc-failure.patch

The referenced patch does not propagate the "next" pointer from the head
of the list, resulting in a loop between the last 2 groups in the list.
This causes a tight loop/hang in init_numa_sched_groups_power() because
'sg->next' never == 'group_head' when you have > 2 nodes.

This patch seems to fix the problem.
