Hi *,
the smp-kernel has a bug with the keyboard-LEDs (the machine could freeze, if the keyboard-LEDs are changed).
Now a short question: The for()-loop (line 1080) in send_data(), drivers/char/keyboard.c runs 0x200000 times if acknowledge or resend isn't set. Why so often?
My machine (2xP100, Triton II) leaves the loop normally between i=950 and 1050 (decimal), so I decided to reduce the value of 0x200000 to 2000! This works well (for me) and if the smp-error occur, the freeze is much shorter.
Dirk
PS: Sorry about my english and my stupid questions about the kernel, but I'm not a kernel-hacker... :-(
