From aa18efb2a2f07e1cf062039848e9d369bb358724 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:16:11 -0400 Subject: tracing: use recursive counter over irq level Althought using the irq level (hardirq_count, softirq_count and in_nmi) was nice to detect bad recursion right away, but since the counters are not atomically updated with respect to the interrupts, the function tracer might trigger the test from an interrupt handler before the hardirq_count is updated. This will trigger a false warning. This patch converts the recursive detection to a simple counter. If the depth is greater than 16 then the recursive detection will trigger. 16 is more than enough for any nested interrupts.
