[asterisk-dev] lockup detector...

[luisprata]

 Hi All, 

I got the error "soft lockup detected on CPU#0" when I was testing my device 
driver in the new versions of Asterisk (1.4.4) and zaptel 
(zaptel-tor3.1.4.0). 

Well, I don´t know what exactly the lockup detector does, but I suspect the 
problem is related to my polling loops. My polling loops are long time 
"whiles" using jiffies to count timeout. 

Is there a better way to do it ? 

Could anybody help me ? 

Thank you.
