This sounds like a reasonable explanation. It seems that
of_unittest_destroy_tracked_overlays() really ended in an infinite
loop.

But I am still curious why the softlookup points to

[   33.497718] EIP is at vprintk_emit+0x1ea/0x600

Also there is on the stack

[   33.497741]  [<c068e712>] vprintk_default+0x32/0x40
[   33.497741]  [<c068e712>] vprintk_default+0x32/0x40
[   33.497744]  [<c06fdf6e>] printk+0x11/0x13
[   33.497744]  [<c06fdf6e>] printk+0x11/0x13
[   33.497748]  [<c0df5eec>] of_unittest_overlay+0x8d1/0x900
[   33.497748]  [<c0df5eec>] of_unittest_overlay+0x8d1/0x900
[   33.497750]  [<c0df6b1f>] of_unittest+0xc04/0xc2d
[   33.497750]  [<c0df6b1f>] of_unittest+0xc04/0xc2d

I would expect that the soft lookup happens in console_unlock()
called with IRQs disabled. It seems to me that of_unittest_overlay()
is called with IRQs enabled.

I want to be sure that the patch in printk() did not introduce
a deadlock that is visible only under a high printk load.

I guess that the softlookup was not visible before the
printk patch was applied. I wonder if the patch made something
worse. It was supposed to improve things but...

Do I miss something, please?

Best Regards,
Petr
