Use printk_safe per-CPU buffers in printk recursion-prone blocks:
-- around logbuf_lock protected sections in vprintk_emit() and
console_unlock()
-- around down_trylock_console_sem() and up_console_sem()
Note that this solution addresses deadlocks caused by printk()
recursive calls only. That is vprintk_emit() and console_unlock().
Another thing to note is that we now keep lockdep enabled in printk,
because we are protected against the printk recursion caused by lockdep
in vprintk_emit() by the printk-safe mechanism - we first switch to
per-CPU buffers and only then access the deadlock-prone locks.
Examples:
1) printk() from logbuf_lock spin_lock section
Assume the following code:
printk()
raw_spin_lock(&logbuf_lock);
WARN_ON(1);
raw_spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock);
which now produces:
