I found the original patch and looked at the call sites. None of them calls dump_stack. The behavior is thus not the same. With your change, something that was previously treated in an orderly manner will be converted to something that looks like an oops. I assume that the cost of the dump_stack will also be huge. julia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
