[PATCH RT 10/15] kernel/printk: Dont try to print from IRQ/NMI region

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Jul 12 2016 - 10:34:03 EST


3.18.36-rt38-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On -RT we try to acquire sleeping locks which might lead to warnings
from lockdep or a warn_on() from spin_try_lock() (which is a rtmutex on
RT).
We don't print in general from a IRQ off region so we should not try
this via console_unblank() / bust_spinlocks() as well.
