panic: decrease oops_in_progress only after having done the panic
Impact: eliminate secondary warnings during panic() We can panic() in a number of difficult, atomic contexts, hence we use bust_spinlocks(1) in panic() to increase oops_in_progress, which prevents various debug checks we have in place. But in practice this protection only covers the first few printk's done by panic() - it does not cover the later attempt to stop all other CPUs and kexec(). If a secondary warning triggers in one of those facilities that can make the panic message scroll off. So do bust_spinlocks(0) only much later in panic(). (which code is only reached if panic policy is relaxed that it can return after a warning message) Reported-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> LKML-Reference: <49B91A7E.76E4.0078.0@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
