From 6d9bcb621b0b0a20604cbdb298c4487e44dd0da2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Stultz Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:11:43 -0700 Subject: timekeeping: use printk_deferred when holding timekeeping seqlock Jiri Bohac pointed out that there are rare but potential deadlock possibilities when calling printk while holding the timekeeping seqlock. This is due to printk() triggering console sem wakeup, which can cause scheduling code to trigger hrtimers which may try to read the time. Specifically, as Jiri pointed out, that path is: printk vprintk_emit console_unlock up(&console_sem) __up wake_up_process try_to_wake_up ttwu_do_activate ttwu_activate activate_task enqueue_task enqueue_task_fair hrtick_update hrtick_start_fair hrtick_start_fair get_time ktime_get --> endless loop on read_seqcount_retry(&timekeeper_seq, ...) This patch tries to avoid this issue by using printk_deferred (previously named printk_sched) which should defer printing via a irq_work_queue.
