Subject: [PATCH]: Fix bogus softlockup warning with sysrq-t
There are some situations when soft lockup warnings are expected in the
kernel. For example, when doing an alt-sysrq-t on a large number of processes,
the dump to console can take a long time and the tasklist_lock is held over
that period. This results in a bogus soft lockup warning.
This patch reworks touch_softlockup_watchdog to touch ALL cpu's
touch_timestamp. It also introduces touch_cpu_softlockup_watchdog to touch
a single cpu's touch_timestamp. This makes it functionally equivalent to
touch_nmi_watchdog.
touch_nmi_watchdog is not modified -- AFAICT it was attempting to touch all
cpu's softlockup watchdogs, not just a specific cpu.
/drivers/ide/ide-iops.c does not need to call touch_softlockup_watchdog as it
is done in the call to touch_nmi_watchdog.
The EXPORT_SYMBOL for touch_softlockup_watchdog is needed by
drivers/scsi/ips.ko
