Subject: [PATCH v2] printk: defer_console_output: use atomic update
Date: Mon, 07 Feb 2022 10:52:20 +0106	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bkzj3t77.fsf@jogness.linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <YfzP50vDiJiaRVCr@google.com>

The per-cpu @printk_pending variable can be updated from
sleepable contexts, such as:

  get_random_bytes()
    warn_unseeded_randomness()
      printk_deferred()
        defer_console_output()

and can be updated from interrupt contexts, such as:

  handle_irq_event_percpu()
    __irq_wake_thread()
      wake_up_process()
        try_to_wake_up()
          select_task_rq()
            select_fallback_rq()
              printk_deferred()
                defer_console_output()

and can be updated from NMI contexts, such as:

  vprintk()
    if (in_nmi()) defer_console_output()

Therefore this_cpu_or(), the atomic variant of __this_cpu_or(),
should be used to update the variable.

 Change from v1:
 
 Sebastian comments made it clear that the v1 title and message were not
 correctly specifying the problem or the reason for the fix. I hope this
 text is clearer.
