Subject[PATCH 4.14 68/89] workqueue: avoid hard lockups in show_workqueue_state()
Date
4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@gmail.com>

commit 62635ea8c18f0f62df4cc58379e4f1d33afd5801 upstream.

show_workqueue_state() can print out a lot of messages while being in
atomic context, e.g. sysrq-t -> show_workqueue_state(). If the console
device is slow it may end up triggering NMI hard lockup watchdog.
