From f96f56780ca584930bb3a2769d73fd9a101bcbbe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2014 03:10:16 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: Skip kretprobe hit in NMI context to avoid deadlock Skip kretprobe hit in NMI context, because if an NMI happens inside the critical section protected by kretprobe_table.lock and another(or same) kretprobe hit, pre_kretprobe_handler tries to lock kretprobe_table.lock again. Normal interrupts have no problem because they are disabled with the lock. Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Acked-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Cc: David S.
