sched/debug: Make the "Preemption disabled at ..." message more useful
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This message is currently really useless since it always prints a value
that comes from the printk() we just did, e.g.:

    BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.h:388
    in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 31996, name: trinity-c1
    Preemption disabled at:[<ffffffff8119db33>] down_trylock+0x13/0x80

    BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/freezer.h:56
    in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 31996, name: trinity-c1
    Preemption disabled at:[<ffffffff811aaa37>] console_unlock+0x2f7/0x930

Here, both down_trylock() and console_unlock() is somewhere in the
printk() path.

We should save the value before calling printk() and use the saved value
instead. That immediately reveals the offending callsite:

    BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.h:388
    in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 14971, name: trinity-c2
    Preemption disabled at:[<ffffffff819bcd46>] rhashtable_walk_start+0x46/0x150
