From: Prashanth K <quic_prashk@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e5990469943c711cb00bfde6338d2add6c6d0bfe ] When serial console over USB is enabled, gs_console_connect queues gs_console_work, where it acquires the spinlock and queues the usb request, and this request goes to gadget layer. Now consider a situation where gadget layer prints something to dmesg, this will eventually call gs_console_write() which requires cons->lock. And this causes spinlock recursion. Avoid this by excluding usb_ep_queue from the spinlock. spin_lock_irqsave //needs cons->lock gs_console_write . . _printk __warn_printk dev_warn/pr_err . .
