The caller id thus probably can be extended. Right now it only tells us either we are in a process context (PID) or in something else. This works sort of fine (I guess) because deeply nested printouts (printks from NMI atop of process or irq printks) land in the deferred printk-safe buffers, but things will change with the new logbuf (and after removal of the logbuf_lock and per-CPU printk-safe buffers). -ss _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
