Subject: [PATCH 5.4 03/83] printk: queue wake_up_klogd irq_work only if per-CPU areas are ready
From: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@...il.com>
commit ab6f762f0f53162d41497708b33c9a3236d3609e upstream.
printk_deferred(), similarly to printk_safe/printk_nmi, does not
immediately attempt to print a new message on the consoles, avoiding
calls into non-reentrant kernel paths, e.g. scheduler or timekeeping,
which potentially can deadlock the system.
Those printk() flavors, instead, rely on per-CPU flush irq_work to print
messages from safer contexts. For same reasons (recursive scheduler or
timekeeping calls) printk() uses per-CPU irq_work in order to wake up
user space syslog/kmsg readers.
However, only printk_safe/printk_nmi do make sure that per-CPU areas
have been initialised and that it's safe to modify per-CPU irq_work.
This means that, for instance, should printk_deferred() be invoked "too
early", that is before per-CPU areas are initialised, printk_deferred()
will perform illegal per-CPU access.
Lech Perczak [0] reports that after commit 1b710b1b10ef ("char/random:
silence a lockdep splat with printk()") user-space syslog/kmsg readers
are not able to read new kernel messages.
The reason is printk_deferred() being called too early (as was pointed
out by Petr and John).
Fix printk_deferred() and do not queue per-CPU irq_work before per-CPU
areas are initialized.
