Show all headers | View raw

4.2.8-ckt12 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: =?UTF-8?q?Ville=20Syrj=C3=A4l=C3=A4?= <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com>

commit 3017cd63f26fc655d56875aaf497153ba60e9edf upstream.

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.
