I don't see why all printk()-s should deadlock.

A "normal" printk() call will deadlock only when scheduler calls
"normal" printk() under rq or pi locks. But this is illegal anyway,
because console_sem up() calls wake_up_process() - the same function
wake_up_interruptible() calls. IOW "normal" printk() calls from
scheduler end up in scheduler, via console_sem->sched chain. We
already execute wake_up_process()->try_to_wake_up() in printk(),
even when a non-LOGLEVEL_SCHED printk() comes from scheduler.

What am I missing something?
