    [PATCH] relayfs: remove warning printk() in relay_switch_subbuf() · fd30fc32
    Tom Zanussi 提交于
    There's currently a diagnostic printk in relay_switch_subbuf() meant as
    a warning if you accidentally try to log an event larger than the
    sub-buffer size.
    
    The problem is if this happens while logging from somewhere it's not
    safe to be doing printks, such as in the scheduler, you can end up with
    a deadlock.  This patch removes the warning from relay_switch_subbuf()
    and instead prints some diagnostic info when the channel is closed.
    
    Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for pointing out the problem and
    suggesting a fix.
