From 8a173b1476d126674104c7c5c6cef0bcd824b001 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Borntraeger Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 11:18:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] spinlock: Indicate that a lockup is only suspected On an over-committed KVM system we got a: "BUG: spinlock lockup on CPU#2, swapper/2/0" message on the heavily contended virtio blk spinlock. While we might want to reconsider the locking of virtio-blk (lock is held while switching to the host) this patch tries to make the message clearer: the lockup is only suspected.
