Subject: [PATCH 2/2 v2] lockdep: continue lock debugging despite some taints
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2009 03:17:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1239412638-6739-2-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090410134520.GC17878@elte.hu>

Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient
to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel
tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the
staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused
on another things that require lockdep.

The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case
of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.
