Subject: [PATCH] Add more checks to _check_dmesg
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2015 16:10:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1447863003-26291-1-git-send-email-fdmanana@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

Teach _check_dmesg to look for improper RCU usage and circular locking
dependency messages. It's useful to check for these as they might point
to a real problem in the filesystem's implementation (or the current
implementation just confuses the checker, probably worth simplifying
the filesystem's implementation).

Currently the test btrfs/071 for example triggers such warnings:

[  912.924839] ===============================
