A new Lockmeter patch (lockmeter1.4.8-2.4.2.diff.gz, i.e., version 1.4.8
which patches Linux kernel v2.4.2) and Lockstat command
(lockstat-1.4.7.tar.gz) are now available at:
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/lockmeter/download
This new version of lockmeter fixes a small timing bug that occasionally
produced a read-lock max-busy value that was absurdly high.
This new version of lockstat fixes an occasional bogus lock name (or
procedure name). If you haven't downloaded a new lockstat command in
the last week or two, you ought to download this version. There have
been recent improvements in the lockstat output -- to use slightly fewer
columns, and to display a new field "% CPU" that tells you the
percentage of total available CPU cycles that were consumed by a lock
wait.
