Subject: Re: [debug patch] printk: Add a printk killswitch to robustify NMI
 watchdog messages


one more thing, could you please add this call:

	debug_show_all_locks();

to after the WARN(), in watchdog.c?

Please surround the whole printout portion by the 
spin_lock()/unlock() protection code i suggested, full-lock-state 
printouts are slow and other CPUs might start printing their NMI 
ticks ...

With the all-locks-printed output we can double check what locks are 
held.

Thanks,

	Ingo
