From: Ville Syrjälä Date: Thu, 26 May 2016 22:16:25 +0000 (-0700) Subject: dma-debug: avoid spinlock recursion when disabling dma-debug X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3017cd63f26fc655d56875aaf497153ba60e9edf;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git dma-debug: avoid spinlock recursion when disabling dma-debug With netconsole (at least) the pr_err("... disablingn") call can recurse back into the dma-debug code, where it'll try to grab free_entries_lock again. Avoid the problem by doing the printk after dropping the lock.
