[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: printk-robustify-printk.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2715 bytes --]

2.6.29-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>

commit b845b517b5e3706a3729f6ea83b88ab85f0725b0 upstream.

Avoid deadlocks against rq->lock and xtime_lock by deferring the klogd
wakeup by polling from the timer tick.
