Hi,

wt is the advantage of introducing softlock feature in rhel? How user/admin will be benifitted if softlockup events are occoured? on the contrary, server dies if softlock happens.We hardly can take some preventive action against softlockups, but most of the times we are not able to do anything about softlockups?

I'm not entirely sure that you understand either the design or the purpose of the feature . . .

(Please understand that, in saying this, I am not suggesting that you are a fool. I do not mean the above comment, in any way whatsoever, "personally.")
