Diagnosing a disabled loop

A disabled loop is not visible in the system trace output because disabled routines do not take interrupts. Normally, a disabled loop results in a spin loop in a multiprocessor environment. When analyzing a stand-alone dump for a disabled loop, use the stored status data to determine the module involved in the loop. Disabled loops often result in a system outage if they persist. Therefore, you usually be working with a stand-alone dump.
