andi,

please refer the patch, it will move cpu_set(, cpu_callin_map) from
smi_callin to start_secondary.


This patch fixes an apparent race / lockup on our 2-way dual cores (when applied against 2.6.12.3). The machine was locking up after "Initializing CPU#2".


The real solution for this issue is the smp_call_function_single patch from Eric
that I reposted yesterday. Yh's patch just changed the timing slightly.



Indeed.

I had a report here that the smp_call_function_single patch wasn't fixing our problem. I just tried it myself and it appears to also fix the problem.

Thanks,

Mike Waychison
