This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled timekeeping: Use deferred printk() in debug code to the 4.9-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: timekeeping-use-deferred-printk-in-debug-code.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From f222449c9dfad7c9bb8cb53e64c5c407b172ebbc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2017 13:43:32 +0900 Subject: timekeeping: Use deferred printk() in debug code From: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@xxxxxxxxx> commit f222449c9dfad7c9bb8cb53e64c5c407b172ebbc upstream. We cannot do printk() from tk_debug_account_sleep_time(), because tk_debug_account_sleep_time() is called under tk_core seq lock. The reason why printk() is unsafe there is that console_sem may invoke scheduler (up()->wake_up_process()->activate_task()), which, in turn, can return back to timekeeping code, for instance, via get_time()->ktime_get(), deadlocking the system on tk_core seq lock.
