[ 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 . .

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.
