From: Mika Penttilä <mpenttil@xxxxxxxxxx> With some fbdev based consoles, using the deferred_io mechanism and drm_fb_helper, there can be a call chain like: Backtrack: try_to_wake_up <-- rq_lock taken __queue_work queue_work_on soft_cursor hide_cursor vt_console_print console_unlock vprintk_emit printk __warn_printk (cfs_rq_is_decayed -> SCHED_WARN_ON) __update_blocked_fair update_blocked_averages <-- rq_lock taken Example producer is with qemu bochs virtio device (qemu stdvga), and drm bochs support in the guest. This can fixed be used using schedule_delayed_work() to get out of scheduler context, if needed, while queueing the damage_work.
