[PATCH v2 0/3] kdb: Fix locking in vkdb_printf()

From: Petr Mladek
Date: Tue Nov 29 2016 - 04:40:16 EST


This patchset fixes some races that I noticed when looked
over the kdbd_printf() code. v2 is based on the feedback
from Daniel Thompson and Sergey Senozhatsky.

Changes agaist v1:

+ Completely remove kdb_event (Daniel)
+ Avoid using smp_processor_id() (Sergey)
+ Better describe the whole situation in 3rd patch (Daniel)

Petr Mladek (3):
kdb: Remove unused kdb_event handling
kdb: Properly synchronize vkdb_printf() calls with other CPUs
kdb: Call vkdb_printf() from vprintk_default() only when wanted
