The commit 84a9582fd203("serial: core: Start managing serial controllers to enable runtime PM") use the pm_runtime_get() after uart_port_lock() which would close the irq and disable preement. At this time, pm_runtime_get may cause the following two problems: (1) deadlock in try_to_wake_up: uart_write() uart_port_lock() <<< get lock __uart_start __pm_runtime_resume rpm_resume queue_work_on try_to_wake_up _printk uart_console_write ... uart_port_lock() <<< wait forever (2) scheduling while atomic: uart_write() uart_port_lock() <<< get lock __uart_start __pm_runtime_resume rpm_resume chedule() << sleep So let us use pm_runtime_get_sync() to prevent these.
