[PATCH v2] drm: use trace_printk rather than printk in drm_dbg.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ih.c,
amdgpu_ih_process calls DRM_DEBUG which calls drm_dbg and
finally calls printk.
As amdgpu_ih_process is called from an interrupt handler,
and interrupt handler should be short as possible.

As printk may lead to bogging down the system or can even
create a live lock. printk should not be used in IRQ context.
Instead, trace_printk is recommended in IRQ context.

Changes in v2:
  - Only make the interrupt uses the trace_printk to avoid
    all 4000+ drm_dbg/DRM_DEBUG uses emitting a trace_printk.
