I suggest instead you make only the interrupt uses use a different function and not drm_dbg. Or maybe add an in_interrupt() check like if (in_interrupt()) printk(KERN_DEBUG etc...) else trace_printk(etc...) _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
