Recently I was running a number of tests against 5.3-STABLE (btw, RELENG_5 labeling the system as 5.3-STABLE might be very confusing in a situation where there's not even a 5.3-RELEASE yet, if one doesnt follow how -STABLE are treated compared to "security branchs"), in a SMP system with multiple SATA RAID, and it was not responding well, had a number of freezes under stress tests; Some of those problems could be minimized running BSD as the scheduller instead of ULE; Now -RC1 shows the same performance 5.2.1 used to, also w/ SCHED_BSD, but with ULE it stops responding well sometimes. This first system is a dual-P4 3.0; but with older SMP systems I get a problem on 5.3 that does not happens on 5.2.1; The system is a 4-proc Pentium Pro, it installs fine, but when we start using more CPU (say, running stress(8) or building a port) it panics w/ Panic: APIC: Previous IPI is stuck cpuid: 0 boot() called on cpu#0 Uptime: 3h44m23s Cannot dump. No dump device defined Automatic reboot in 15 second - press a key ... cpu_reset called on cpu#0 cpu_reset: stopping other CPUs Panic: APIC: Previous IPI is stuck cpuid=0 boot() called on cpu#0 Under 5.2.1 it runs fine. What kind of more detailed info can I send to help tracking this behaviour? -- Atenciosamente, Patrick TracanelliReceived on Wed Oct 20 2004 - 19:33:26 UTC
