From 3fa7c794fe4dc127f7fac3fad4d13628e68f89ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2006 10:52:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Avoid recursion in lockdep when stack tracer takes locks The new dwarf2 unwinder needs to take locks to do backtraces inside modules. This patch makes sure lockdep which calls stacktrace is not reentered. Thanks to Ingo for suggesting this simpler approach.
