2.5.67-mm4 & IRQ balancing

I wonder what is the reason for all the NMIs? And why arent't the local
APIC interrupt counters in sync?

With 2.5.66 I have twice as many interrupts on CPU1 as you. :)

CPU0 CPU1

  0:  250666330          0    IO-APIC-edge  timer
  1:        545          1    IO-APIC-edge  i8042
  2:          0          0          XT-PIC  cascade

Hello,

Well, my guess is that because i boot with nmi_watchdog=1 kernel boot option ?? I don't really know.

This was what i used to troubleshoot hard lockups with previous kernels ( i may remove it now as since a patch was made to fix that, everything runs smoothly :)

Thanks,

Philippe
