It could really hard to tell for sure unless someone fully audit every place in
the code could do,

console_owner_lock --> sclp_lock

The lockdep will save only the earliest trace after first saw the lock order, so
those early boot one will always be there in the report.

Yes.

However, the similar splat is for console_owner_lock --> port_lock below. I have
even seen the another one before with a 4-way lockdep splat (which was shot down
separately),

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1568817579.5576.172.camel@lca.pw/

console_sem --> pi_lock --> rq_lock --> zone_lock
zone_lock --> console_sem

It is almost impossible to eliminate all the indirect call chains from
console_sem/console_owner_lock to zone->lock because it is too normal that
something later needs to allocate some memory dynamically, so as long as it
directly call printk() with zone->lock held, it will be in trouble.

I really hope the new printk() will solve this class of the problem, but it is
essentially up to the air until a patchset was posted. There are just too many
questions out there to be answered.
