      [PATCH] completely disable cpu_exclusive sched domain · 212d6d22
      Paul Jackson authored
      At the suggestion of Nick Piggin and Dinakar, totally disable
      the facility to allow cpu_exclusive cpusets to define dynamic
      sched domains in Linux 2.6.13, in order to avoid problems
      first reported by John Hawkes (corrupt sched data structures
      and kernel oops).
      
      This has been built for ppc64, i386, ia64, x86_64, sparc, alpha.
      It has been built, booted and tested for cpuset functionality
      on an SN2 (ia64).
      
      Dinakar or Nick - could you verify that it for sure does avoid
      the problems Hawkes reported.  Hawkes is out of town, and I don't
      have the recipe to reproduce what he found.

      [PATCH] undo partial cpu_exclusive sched domain disabling · ca2f3daf
      Paul Jackson authored
      The partial disabling of Dinakar's new facility to allow
      cpu_exclusive cpusets to define dynamic sched domains
      doesn't go far enough.  At the suggestion of Nick Piggin
      and Dinakar, let us instead totally disable this facility
      for 2.6.13, in order to avoid problems first reported
      by John Hawkes (corrupt sched data structures and kernel oops).
      
      This patch removes the partial disabling code in 2.6.13-rc7,
      in anticipation of the next patch, which will totally disable
      it instead.
