From 8b1742c9c2071520efacf44e974dc03421360471 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergey Senozhatsky Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2016 23:16:10 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] printk: remove zap_locks() function We use printk-safe now which makes printk-recursion detection code in vprintk_emit() unreachable. The tricky thing here is that, apart from detecting and reporting printk recursions, that code also used to zap_locks() in case of panic() from the same CPU. However, zap_locks() does not look to be needed anymore: 1) Since commit 08d78658f393 ("panic: release stale console lock to always get the logbuf printed out") panic flushing of `logbuf' to console ignores the state of `console_sem' by doing panic() console_trylock(); console_unlock(); 2) Since commit cf9b1106c81c ("printk/nmi: flush NMI messages on the system panic") panic attempts to zap the `logbuf_lock' spin_lock to successfully flush nmi messages to `logbuf'. Basically, it seems that we either already do what zap_locks() used to do but in other places or we ignore the state of the lock. The only reaming difference is that we don't re-init the console semaphore in printk_safe_flush_on_panic(), but this is not necessary because we don't call console drivers from printk_safe_flush_on_panic() due to the fact that we are using a deferred printk() version (as was suggested by Petr Mladek).
