From 1e2af92e089d4c845248844a3e7ee06ce889af46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 01:51:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86: use probe_kernel_address in handle_BUG() Avoid possible deadlock on a BUG() inside down_write(mmap_sem). The deadlock can only occur if something has gone horridly wrong, because a fault here shouldn't happen.
