From 0b5e1c5255e7ee8670e077e8224e5c2281229a5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 11:15:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] printk: Release console_sem after logbuf_lock Release console_sem after unlocking the logbuf_lock so that we don't generate wakeups while holding logbuf_lock. This avoids some lock inversion troubles once we remove the lockdep_off bits between logbuf_lock and rq->lock (prints while holding rq->lock vs doing wakeups while holding logbuf_lock). There's of course still an actual deadlock where the printk()s under rq->lock will issue a wakeup from the up() call, but lockdep won't warn about that since semaphores are not tracked.
