VMS Help Sys Parameters, SMP_LNGSPINWAIT *Conan The Librarian |
SMP_LNGSPINWAIT establishes, in 10-microsecond intervals, the
amount of time a CPU in an SMP system normally waits for access
to a shared resource. This process is called spinwaiting.
Generally spinlocks at IPL <= 8 have long holding times,
therefore have their timeout intervals set to SMP_LNGSPINWAIT
to prevent SPINWAIT timeouts in cases of nested acquisition.
A timeout causes a CPUSPINWAIT bugcheck.
The default value is 3000000 (30,00, 000 10-microsecond intervals
or 30 second).
