[PATCH v4 10/29] x86/die: Don't try to recover from an OOPS on a non-default stack

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

 



It's not going to work, because the scheduler will explode if we try
to schedule when running on an IST stack or similar.

This will matter when we let kernel stack overflows (which are #DF)
call die().
