The patch titled lockdep debugging: give stacktrace for init_error has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is lockdep-debugging-give-stacktrace-for-init_error.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: lockdep debugging: give stacktrace for init_error From: Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> When I started adding support for lockdep to 64-bit powerpc, I got a lockdep_init_error and with this patch was able to pinpoint why and where to put lockdep_init(). Let's support this generally for others adding lockdep support to their architecture.
