Subject: [PATCH v3 06/11] kgdb: Prevent infinite recursive entries to the debugger
Date:   Tue, 28 Apr 2020 14:13:46 -0700
Message-Id: <20200428141218.v3.6.I89de39f68736c9de610e6f241e68d8dbc44bc266@changeid>

If we detect that we recursively entered the debugger we should hack
our I/O ops to NULL so that the panic() in the next line won't
actually cause another recursion into the debugger.  The first line of
kgdb_panic() will check this and return.
