This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled char/random: silence a lockdep splat with printk() to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: char-random-silence-a-lockdep-splat-with-printk.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Fri Jun 17 08:58:56 AM CEST 2022 From: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 16:16:25 -0500 Subject: char/random: silence a lockdep splat with printk() From: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 1b710b1b10eff9d46666064ea25f079f70bc67a8 ] Sergey didn't like the locking order, uart_port->lock -> tty_port->lock uart_write (uart_port->lock) __uart_start pl011_start_tx pl011_tx_chars uart_write_wakeup tty_port_tty_wakeup tty_port_default tty_port_tty_get (tty_port->lock) but those code is so old, and I have no clue how to de-couple it after checking other locks in the splat. There is an onging effort to make all printk() as deferred, so until that happens, workaround it for now as a short-term fix.
