From 36e8695ca5dcf48c837a6efe6f780c47ac9ec808 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2011 13:00:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: Disable VPNH feature This feature triggers nasty races in the scheduler between the rebuilding of the topology and the load balancing code, causing the machine to hang. Disable it for now until the races are fixed.
