Marius, thanks for your work. > Hrm, I'm not entirely convinced the above patch makes a difference to the IPI send problem. Do you have a test case with which you could trigger the panic reliably? In case you are still using your patch from PR 66314 or something similar, what number of retries does it actually take to not trigger the panic? I.e. have you seen any higher value than the 2022 retries mentioned in the PR when not additionally using the above patch? To what number of retries does that change when additionally using the above patch? Marius -- This mail was scanned by AntiVir Milter. This product is licensed for non-commercial use.
