| |
Using the patch below that you sent me, this message printed today on my SMP system when terminating pppd:
flush_to_ldisc - TTY_FLUSHING set, low_latency=0
And this bug is also in 2.6.17.4 - I forgot to reboot into 2.6.16.x and the system locked up the same way 2.6.16 used to. That was made even more fun by the 'SysRq broken on SMP' bug fixed by a pending 2.6.17.7 patch...
