Yes, because the real bug is above. Disabling interrupt preemption just masks it. The gory details are that almost all (in fact on UP, 100%) of context switches away from the idlethread are due to interrupts. When interrupt preemption is enabled, this means that idle threads are switched away from before they've had a chance to decrement the cpu_idle_busy counter in acpi_cpu_idle(). Thus, when the thread doing shutdown gets to this loop, it never terminates because the idlethread of the CPU executing the shutdown request never gets a chance to go back and decrement its idle_busy count. In truth, you don't actually need the loop, once you do the rendezvous, any other CPUs that are idle will wake up, exit acpi_cpu_idle() and re-enter after finding no runnable jobs. I tracked this down after a couple of hours on Wednesday but was very busy with ${REALJOB} work yesterday and haven't had a chance to send an e-mail out about this. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
