I applied the three patches from Mel and one from Tejun.

Thanks Sachin

Was there any useful result from Tejun's patch applied on its own?
Haven't tried with just the patch from Tejun. I will give this a try.
I might not get a chance to test this until late in the evening my time.
(Today being a holiday for me )

Tejun, the above hang looks exactly the same as the one
i have reported here :

http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-September/075791.html

This particular hang was bisected to the following patch

powerpc64: convert to dynamic percpu allocator

This hang can be recreated without SLQB. So i think this is a different
problem.


Was that bug ever resolved?
The bug was still present with git9(78f28b..). With latest git
git10(ebc79c4 ..)i haven't tested it yet because of perf counter
build errors.

Thanks
-Sachin
