^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are two explanations for this error message
1. Failed IPI delivery.
- Interrupts are disabled on the other CPU
- The local apic TPR register value on the other CPU is too high,
blocking the IPI
2. Successful IPI delivery not detected
- Incorrect declaration of some variables (missing volatile decl.).
If the second explanation is correct for your case, the following patch
might help you.
