From: Greg KH on 30 Mar 2010 20:20 2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: David S. Miller <davem(a)davemloft.net> [ Upstream commit 8a4fd1e4922413cfdfa6c51a59efb720d904a5eb ] If we do something like try to print to the OF console from an NMI while we're already in OpenFirmware, we'll deadlock on the spinlock. Use a raw spinlock and disable NMIs when we take it. Signed-off-by: David S.
