From 8f9de51a4a98ba32f839903b7d009788bc2c295d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kirill Korotaev Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 02:03:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] printk() should not be called under zone->lock This patch fixes printk() under zone->lock in show_free_areas(). It can be unsafe to call printk() under this lock, since caller can try to allocate/free some memory and selfdeadlock on this lock. I found allocations/freeing mem both in netconsole and serial console. This issue was faced in reallity when meminfo was periodically printed for debug purposes and netconsole was used.
