Arrow  Advisory Content :  


hey,
I'm noticing that if I run the unix.c program from <A NAME="-1"></A>[1] in
a tight
loop on 2.6.28-rc5, I get frequent soft lockups. Eventually, the OOM
killer kicks in and starts taking out other processes.

I've posted a console log here:
http://free.linux.hp.com/~dannf/unix-soft-lockups.log
