I added some debug statements within the above code.
This is a 2 cpu machine.
XMON dest_cpu = 1024 . dead_cpu = 1 . nr_cpu_ids = 2
XMON dest_cpu = 1024
XMON dest_cpu = 1024 . dead_cpu = 1
XMON dest_cpu = 1024 . dead_cpu = 1 . nr_cpu_ids = 2
XMON dest_cpu = 1024
XMON dest_cpu = 1024 . dead_cpu = 1
XMON dest_cpu = 1024 . dead_cpu = 1 . nr_cpu_ids = 2
XMON dest_cpu = 1024
XMON dest_cpu = 1024 . dead_cpu = 1
Seems to me that the control is stuck in an infinite loop and hence the
machine appears to be in hung state. The dest_cpu value is always 1024
and never changes, which result in an infinite loop.
In working scenario the o/p is something on the following lines
XMON dest_cpu = 1024 . dead_cpu = 1 . nr_cpu_ids = 2
XMON dest_cpu = 0
XMON dest_cpu = 1024 . dead_cpu = 1 . nr_cpu_ids = 2
XMON dest_cpu = 0
XMON dest_cpu = 1024 . dead_cpu = 1 . nr_cpu_ids = 2
XMON dest_cpu = 0
Let me know if i should try to record any specific value ?
Thanks
