LKP has hit yet another circular locking dependency between uart console drivers and debugobjects [1]: CPU0 CPU1 rhltable_init() __init_work() debug_object_init uart_shutdown() /* db->lock */ /* uart_port->lock */ debug_print_object() free_page() printk() call_console_drivers() debug_check_no_obj_freed() /* uart_port->lock */ /* db->lock */ debug_print_object() So there are two dependency chains: uart_port->lock -> db->lock And db->lock -> uart_port->lock This particular circular locking dependency can be addressed in several ways: a) One way would be to move debug_print_object() out of db->lock scope and, thus, break the db->lock -> uart_port->lock chain. b) Another one would be to free() transmit buffer page out of db->lock in UART code; which is what this patch does. It makes sense to apply a) and b) independently: there are too many things going on behind free(), none of which depend on uart_port->lock. The patch fixes transmit buffer page free() in uart_shutdown() and, additionally, in uart_port_startup() (as was suggested by Dmitry Safonov).
