From 14fb1fa6e266fb9c4622b210d2636a2004a47e2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:16:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Use WARN instead of dump_stack when printing EEH error backtrace When we get an EEH error we just print a backtrace with dump_stack which is rather cryptic. We really should print something before spewing out the backtrace. Also switch from dump_stack to WARN so we get more information about the fail - what modules were loaded, what process was running etc. This was useful information when debugging a recent EEH subsystem bug. The standard WARN output should also get picked up by monitoring tools like kerneloops. The register dump is of questionable value here but I figured it was better to use something standard and not roll my own.
