Subject: [RFC RT] tty: serial: 8250: don't take the lock on OOPs
Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2016 19:05:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160311180504.GB29850@linutronix.de> (raw)
On panic() from IRQ (for instance from the lockup detector) we will
end up in an endless loop on -RT. Each time we invoke
spin_trylock_irqsave() we will trigger the WARN_ON() in rt_mutex_trylock().
The WARN_ON() will stuff more data into the printk buffer than we can
print on one iteration and so we never end the printing loop.
