[PATCH 2/2] serial: core: Remove BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) check

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

 



From: "Ahmed S. Darwish" <a.darwish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out for various
reasons.

In both exported functions where BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) is invoked,
there is a mutex_lock() afterwards. mutex_lock() contains a
might_sleep() which will already trigger a stack trace if the target
functions is called from atomic context.

Remove the BUG_ON() and add a "Context: " in the kernel-doc instead.
