[PATCH] lockdep: Avoid triggering hardlockup from debug_show_all_locks()

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Mon Jan 22 2018 - 17:01:03 EST


debug_show_all_locks() iterates all tasks and print held locks whole
holding tasklist_lock. This can take a while on a slow console device
and may end up triggering NMI hardlockup detector if someone else ends
up waiting for tasklist_lock.

Touch the NMI watchdog while printing the held locks to avoid
spuriously triggering the hardlockup detector.
