The lock is not always taken, OTOH the interrupts are always > disabled. I was referencing some serial drivers (omap, pl011) changes on the linux-rt patch series and provide logically the same change here. For all oops cases I've found, panic() itself disables irq before calling `bust_spinlocks(1)`. Architecture dependent `die()` on riscv also masks off irq with a spin_lock_irq() before calling bust_spinlocks(1). Should we make SERIAL_SIFIVE depend on RISCV in Kconfig for this? However, I am not very certain about the sysrq part here. According to the patch on linux-rt, it says irqs are already disabled if the console_write comes from sysrq handling. One difference I noticed is that the sifive console does not support magic sysrq, while the others do support. And it seems like the condition check `ssp->port.sysrq` in sifive serial is never true, but maybe I just overlooked something. + Thomas Hi Thomas, do you think the sifive console driver needs the change here for RT?
