From ca2d736867200b931ca61383af2fd68bb5fd2ecb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergey Senozhatsky Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2018 09:53:35 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: avoid hard lockups in show_workqueue_state() commit 62635ea8c18f0f62df4cc58379e4f1d33afd5801 upstream. show_workqueue_state() can print out a lot of messages while being in atomic context, e.g. sysrq-t -> show_workqueue_state(). If the console device is slow it may end up triggering NMI hard lockup watchdog.
