From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Commit 1a149d7d3f45 ("ring-buffer: Rewrite trace_recursive_(un)lock() to be simpler") replaced the context level recursion checks with a simple counter. This would prevent the ring buffer code from recursively calling itself more than the max number of contexts that exist (Normal, softirq, irq, nmi). But this change caused a lockup in a specific case, which was during suspend and resume using a global clock. Adding a stack dump to see where this occurred, the issue was in the trace global clock itself: trace_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1c/0x50 __trace_graph_entry+0x2d/0x90 trace_graph_entry+0xe8/0x200 prepare_ftrace_return+0x69/0xc0 ftrace_graph_caller+0x78/0xa8 queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x5/0x1d0 trace_clock_global+0xb0/0xc0 ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0xf9/0x390 The function graph tracer traced queued_spin_lock_slowpath that was called by trace_clock_global. This pointed out that the trace_clock_global() is not reentrant, as it takes a spin lock. It depended on the ring buffer recursive lock from letting that happen. By removing the context detection and adding just a max number of allowable recursions, it allowed the trace_clock_global() to be entered again and try to retake the spinlock it already held, causing a deadlock.
