Subject: [PATCH] leds: heartbeat: fix bug on panic
Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2012 08:35:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1341297347-19336-1-git-send-email-holler@ahsoftware.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120612162629.15519f39@feng-i7>
With commit 49dca5aebfdeadd4bf27b6cb4c60392147dc35a4 I introduced
a bug (visible if CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled) which occures when a panic
has happened:

So in case of a panic, now just turn of the LED. Other approaches like
scheduling a work to unregister the trigger aren't working because there
isn't much which still runs after a panic occured (except timers).
