Subject: [PATCH] panic: lockdep: correct lock debugging state check
Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2016 20:36:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1461641797-9368-1-git-send-email-yang.shi@linaro.org> (raw)

When kernel oops happens, lock debugging is turned off by debug_locks_off()
in oops_enter() via calling __debug_locks_off() which set debug_locks to 0
via xchg(). But, calling to __debug_locks_off() to check lock debugging state
in add_taint() called by oops_end() will always return false since xchg()
returns the old value of debug_locks which is cleared in oops_enter() already.

This prevents add_taint() from printing out lock debugging disable information
although LOCKDEP_NOW_UNRELIABLE is passed to it.

Check lock debugging state via !debug_locks to fix this. Although
!__debug_locks_off() could do the same thing, it may look confusing.

Before the fix, oops output looks like:
RIP  [<ffffffff8119d2f8>] release_freepages+0x18/0xa0
 RSP <ffff88036173fcf8>
CR2: 0000000000000000
[ end trace 2e96d09e0ba6342f ]

Aftere the fix, it looks like:
RIP  [<ffffffff8119d2f8>] release_freepages+0x18/0xa0
 RSP <ffff88036173fcf8>
CR2: 0000000000000000
Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
[ end trace 2e96d09e0ba6342f ]

And, fix a trivial typo in the comment of add_taint().
