Not particularly evil, just plain broken. See this series: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=132446644123326&w=2 In particular see patches 1-4. The problem with lockdep is that lockdep uses printk and printk's recursion stuff is utterly broken. Console drivers being on crack simply doesn't help :-) Note that I would never recommend drm/ksm to anybody who really cares about their console output. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
