Subject[PATCH 3.12 48/56] dma-debug: avoid spinlock recursion when disabling dma-debug
Date
From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 3017cd63f26fc655d56875aaf497153ba60e9edf upstream.

With netconsole (at least) the pr_err("... disablingn") call can
recurse back into the dma-debug code, where it'll try to grab
free_entries_lock again. Avoid the problem by doing the printk after
dropping the lock.
