From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2016 16:55:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tty: serial: 8250: don't take the trylock during oops An oops with irqs off (panic() from irqsafe hrtimer like the watchdog timer) will lead to a lockdep warning on each invocation and as such never completes. Therefore we skip the trylock in the oops case.
