Subject: [PATCH 0/4] printk: Remove lockdep_off() and wakeups -v3
Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2011 17:17:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110621151725.705140475@chello.nl> (raw)
Last iteration of the printk() rework which removes the lockdep_off() hackery
and removes the need for printk() to issue wakeups, thereby increasing
reliability from variuos contexts.
Patch 0b5e1c5255 from -tip needs to be reverted (or better dropped), due
us discovering why doing up() under logbuf_lock was important -- thanks
Andrew, Ingo!
This series was tested on a lockdep enabled kernel with the below hack
included, which generated a nice splat.
