Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix lockdep IRQ tracing bug
Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2008 17:11:31 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080815071200.61259DE140@ozlabs.org> (raw)
A small bogon sneaked into the ppc64 lockdep support. A test is
branching slightly off causing a clobbered register value to
overwrite the irq state under some circumstances.
Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This explains some of the reported weird lockdep errors, maybe
even all of them, we'll see.
We should probably backport that to 2.6.26-stable too, any candidate ?
