Yes, others have mentioned this too, good point. Depending upon what we're really trying to achieve with the softlockup stuff, we can perhaps look into increasing the timeout or making it configurable. We could even do this dynamically, so when we register a serial console running at some low baud rate, we scale up the softlockup timeout or something like that. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
