From 3ccf3e8306156a28213adc720aba807e9a901ad5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2012 10:47:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] printk/sched: Introduce special printk_sched() for those awkward moments There's a few awkward printk()s inside of scheduler guts that people prefer to keep but really are rather deadlock prone. Fudge around it by storing the text in a per-cpu buffer and poll it using the existing printk_tick() handler. This will drop output when its more frequent than once a tick, however only the affinity thing could possible go that fast and for that just one should suffice to notify the admin he's done something silly..
