From 004429956b4875e6bc2a31833f75363ce48cbea9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:29:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] handle recursive calls to bust_spinlocks() Various architectures may call bust_spinlocks() recursively; the function itself, however, doesn't appear to be meant to be called in this manner. Nevertheless, this doesn't appear to be a problem as long as bust_spinlocks(0) doesn't get called twice in a row (otherwise, unblank_screen() may enter the scheduler). However, at least on i386 die() has been capable of returning (and on other architectures this should really be that way, too) when notify_die() returns NOTIFY_STOP. Short of getting a reply to a respective query, this patch makes bust_spinlocks() increment/decrement oops_in_progress, and wake klogd only when the count drops back to zero.
