Hi all, After Dave Airlie blew through a few days to track down a deadlock at boot-up when handing over from the firmware fb to the kms/drm framebuffer driver (1), I've figured that lockdep /should/ have caught this. And indeed, by adding proper annotations to the console_lock it complains about the potential deadlock when exercising the entire driver life-cycle of just one fb driver (i.e. not even a handover required). While at it, I've replaced the existing in_interrupt check with the more paranoid might_sleep. Comments, flames and review highly welcome. Yours, Daniel [1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/21/36 Daniel Vetter (2): console: use might_sleep in console_lock console: implement lockdep support for console_lock kernel/printk.c | 12 +++++++++++- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
