This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serial: pl011: Fix lockdep splat when handling magic-sysrq interrupt
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: serial: pl011: Fix lockdep splat when handling magic-sysrq interrupt
Issuing a magic-sysrq via the PL011 causes the following lockdep splat,
which is easily reproducible under QEMU:
| sysrq: Changing Loglevel
| sysrq: Loglevel set to 9
|
| ======================================================
| WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
| 5.9.0-rc7 #1 Not tainted
| ------------------------------------------------------
| systemd-journal/138 is trying to acquire lock:
| ffffab133ad950c0 (console_owner){-.-.}-{0:0}, at: console_lock_spinning_enable+0x34/0x70
|
| but task is already holding lock:
| ffff0001fd47b098 (&port_lock_key){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: pl011_int+0x40/0x488
|
| which lock already depends on the new lock.
[...]
| Possible unsafe locking scenario:
|
| CPU0 CPU1
| ---- ----
| lock(&port_lock_key);
| lock(console_owner);
| lock(&port_lock_key);
| lock(console_owner);
|
| *** DEADLOCK ***
The issue being that CPU0 takes 'port_lock' on the irq path in pl011_int()
before taking 'console_owner' on the printk() path, whereas CPU1 takes
the two locks in the opposite order on the printk() path due to setting
the "console_owner" prior to calling into into the actual console driver.
Fix this in the same way as the msm-serial driver by dropping 'port_lock'
before handling the sysrq.
