Subject[RFC][PATCH 3/4] ntp: Use printk_deferred in leapsecond path
Date
Looking over the leapsecond code, I noticed the printk messages
reporting the leapsecond insertion in the second_overflow path
were not using the printk_deferred method. This was surprising
since the printk_deferred method was added in part to avoid
printk-ing while holding the timekeeping locks.

See 6d9bcb621b0b (timekeeping: use printk_deferred when holding
timekeeping seqlock) for further rational.

I can only guess that this omission was a git add -p oversight.

Folks particularly worried about leapsecond crashes should
probably pay attention to this patch. Pending review, Its likely
a -stable candidate.
