The patch titled
lockdep: fix printk recursion logic
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
lockdep-fix-printk-recursion-logic.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: lockdep: fix printk recursion logic
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
Bug reported and fixed by Tilman Schmidt <tilman@xxxxxxx>: if lockdep is
enabled then log messages make it to /var/log/messages belatedly. The
reason is a missed wakeup of klogd.
Initially there was only a lockdep_internal() protection against lockdep
recursion within vprintk() - it grew the 'outer' lockdep_off()/on()
protection only later on. But that lockdep_off() made the
release_console_sem() within vprintk() always happen under the
lockdep_internal() condition, causing the bug.
The right solution to remove the inner protection against recursion here -
the outer one is enough.
