[PATCH] ratelimit: use deferred printk() version

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

 



printk_ratelimit() invokes ___ratelimit() which may invoke a normal
printk() (pr_warn() in this particular case) to warn about suppressed
output. Given that printk_ratelimit() may be called from anywhere,
that pr_warn() is dangerous - it may end up deadlocking the system.
Fix ___ratelimit() by using deferred printk().

Sasha reported the following lockdep error:

 : Unregister pv shared memory for cpu 8
 : select_fallback_rq: 3 callbacks suppressed
 : process 8583 (trinity-c78) no longer affine to cpu8
