[PATCH] kgdboc,input: Fix regression with keyboard release key and early debugging

[Jason Wessel]

=== NOTES excluded from the real commit ===

Dmitry, I added this commit into kgdb-next and I will send a pull
request to Linus Monday, unless someone comes up with an objection or
a different implementation.

Thanks,
Jason.

=== END NOTES ===

The commit 111c182340cd22e238ab1cc6564df336c6ebd7cb introduced a
regression in early debugging such that you get a kernel oops on
continue (with the go command) if you boot a kernel with:

    earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait

The restore input state routine which intended to send release key
events for any key that was depressed on entry to the debugger.  A
simple fix is to not invoke the schedule_work() if the kernel
system_state is anything other than SYSTEM_RUNNING.

Yes, I think it makes sense. Such an early oopses are unlikely to have
input devices fully bound anyway so they'll get "reset" natually.

Thanks.

[PATCH] kgdboc,input: Fix regression with keyboard release key and early debugging

[Jason Wessel]

The commit 111c182340cd22e238ab1cc6564df336c6ebd7cb (kgdboc: reset
input devices (keyboards) when exiting debugger) introduced a
regression in early debugging such that you get a kernel oops on
continue (with the go command) if you boot a kernel with:

    earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait

The restore kgdboc_restore_input() routine schedules work for the
purpose of sending key release events for any keys that were in the
depressed state prior to entering the kernel debugger.  A simple fix
to the crash is to not invoke the schedule_work() if the kernel
system_state is anything other than SYSTEM_RUNNING.
