Various oops including cpu LOCKUPs were seen. For asynchronously received ius where the driver must assign exchange resources, the resources were on a single get (free) list and put list (finished, waiting to be put on get list). As all cpus are sharing the lists, an interrupt for a receive frame may have to wait for all the other cpus to place their done work onto the put list before it can acquire the lock to pull from the list. Fix by breaking the resource lists into per-cpu lists or at least more than 1 list with cpu's sharing the lists). A cpu would allocate from the free list for its own cpu, and put its done work on the its own put list - avoiding the contention. As cpu load may vary, when empty, a cpu may grab from another cpu, thereby changing resource distribution. But searching for a resource only occurs on 1 or a few cpus until a single resource can be allocated. if the condition reoccurs, it starts looking at a different cpu.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
