Bhat" <srivatsa@...il.mit.edu>, kernel test robot <rong.a.chen@...el.com>, John Ogness <john.ogness@...utronix.de> Subject: [PATCH RT 1/8] printk: console must not schedule for drivers 5.4.44-rt27-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: John Ogness <john.ogness@...utronix.de> Even though the printk kthread is always preemptible, it is still not allowed to call cond_resched() from within console drivers. The task may become non-preemptible in the console driver call chain. For example, vt_console_print() takes a spinlock and then can call into fbcon_redraw(), which can conditionally invoke cond_resched(): |BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/printk/printk.c:2322 |in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 177, name: printk |CPU: 0 PID: 177 Comm: printk Not tainted 5.6.2-00011-ga536059557f1d9 #1 |Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.12.0-1 04/01/2014 |Call Trace: | dump_stack+0x66/0x8b | ___might_sleep+0x102/0x120 | console_conditional_schedule+0x24/0x30 | fbcon_redraw+0x96/0x1c0 | fbcon_scroll+0x556/0xd70 | con_scroll+0x147/0x1e0 | lf+0x9e/0xb0 | vt_console_print+0x253/0x3d0 | printk_kthread_func+0x1d5/0x3b0 Disable cond_resched() for the call into the console drivers.
