From 7d0b494532b703da654f96389804f491a6594bbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ville=20Syrj=C3=A4l=C3=A4?= Date: Thu, 26 May 2016 15:16:25 -0700 Subject: dma-debug: avoid spinlock recursion when disabling dma-debug MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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.
