From: Ingo Molnar When we print an assert due to scheduling-in-atomic bugs, and if lockdep is enabled, then the IRQ tracing information of lockdep can be printed to pinpoint the code location that disabled interrupts. This saved me quite a bit of debugging time in cases where the backtrace did not identify the irq-disabling site well enough.
