5.10.56-rt49-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Chao Qin <chao.qin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 83e9288d9c4295d1195e9d780fcbc42c72ba4a83 ] There is msleep in pr_flush(). If call WARN() in the early boot stage such as in early_initcall, pr_flush() will run into msleep when process scheduler is not ready yet. And then the system will sleep forever. Before the system_state is SYSTEM_RUNNING, make sure DO NOT sleep in pr_flush().
