This change is also not in the upstream stable commits to the 2.6.27 kernel. Why was this change added?
Because of 4096 CPUs support patches.
Can you verify that this change is bad on AMD hardware and if so revert the change?
No, the change seems to be correct, as far as I understand your description. first_cpu takes cpumask_t typed variable. cpu_mask_to_apicid takes pointer to that, hence the dereference. You can't even compile the kernel if you revert the commit. Could you specify more precisely what is the problem? Also what's your system? I guess this is SLE 11, not openSUSE 11.1? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
