From b522deabc6f18e4f938d93a84f345f2cbf3347d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Mladek Date: Fri, 20 May 2016 17:00:36 -0700 Subject: printk/nmi: warn when some message has been lost in NMI context We could not resize the temporary buffer in NMI context. Let's warn if a message is lost. This is rather theoretical. printk() should not be used in NMI. The only sensible use is when we want to print backtrace from all CPUs. The current buffer should be enough for this purpose.
