Subject: [RFC][PATCHv2 0/4] less deadlock prone serial consoles
Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2018 14:04:24 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181016050428.17966-1-sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
RFC
The patch set reduces the number of ways serial consoles
can deadlock the system, including the recently reported deadlock
in panic().
The test scenario I ran on my x86_64 box:
- panic() the system while one of the CPUs holds 8250's
uart_port->lock.
Test results:
base | patched
-----------------------------------------
deadlock | flush logbuf
| reboot the system
To keep the cover letter short, please find full description in
commit messages.
P.S. since this is RFC I modify only 8250 serial driver.
Sergey Senozhatsky (4):
panic: avoid deadlocks in re-entrant console drivers
printk: move printk_safe macros to printk header
seial: introduce uart_port locking helpers
tty: 8250: switch to uart_port locking helpers
