Subject: [PATCH 4/5] tracing: protect trace_printk from recursion
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:11:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090417211231.411979179@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090417211135.408179566@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: 0004-tracing-protect-trace_printk-from-recursion.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2259 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

trace_printk can be called from any context, including NMIs.
If this happens, then we must test for for recursion before
grabbing any spinlocks.

This patch prevents trace_printk from being called recursively.

[ Impact: prevent hard lockup in lockdep event tracer ]
