[PATCH 05/14] powerpc/eeh: Defer printing stack trace

Oliver O'Halloran oohall at gmail.com
Tue Sep 3 20:15:56 AEST 2019


Currently we print a stack trace in the event handler to help with
debugging EEH issues. In the case of suprise hot-unplug this is unneeded,
so we want to prevent printing the stack trace unless we know it's due to
an actual device error. To accomplish this, we can save a stack trace at
the point of detection and only print it once the EEH recovery handler has
determined the freeze was due to an actual error.

Since the whole point of this is to prevent spurious EEH output we also
move a few prints out of the detection thread, or mark them as pr_debug
so anyone interested can get output from the eeh_check_dev_failure()
if they want.
