From 8d707e8eb4de4b930573155ab4df4b3270ee25dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:22:48 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: do not grab locks in nmi If ftrace_dump_on_oops is set, and an NMI detects a lockup, then it will need to read from the ring buffer. But the read side of the ring buffer still takes locks. This patch adds a check on the read side that if it is in an NMI, then it will disable the ring buffer and not take any locks. Reads can still happen on a disabled ring buffer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt --- Reading git-format-patch failed
