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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
