printk: fix deadlock when kernel panic
printk_safe_flush_on_panic() caused the following deadlock on our
server:
CPU0: CPU1:
panic rcu_dump_cpu_stacks
kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace
register_nmi_handler(crash_nmi_callback) printk_safe_flush
__printk_safe_flush
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&read_lock)
// send NMI to other processors
apic_send_IPI_allbutself(NMI_VECTOR)
// NMI interrupt, dead loop
crash_nmi_callback
printk_safe_flush_on_panic
printk_safe_flush
__printk_safe_flush
// deadlock
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&read_lock)
DEADLOCK: read_lock is taken on CPU1 and will never get released.
It happens when panic() stops a CPU by NMI while it has been in
the middle of printk_safe_flush().
Handle the lock the same way as logbuf_lock. The printk_safe buffers
are flushed only when both locks can be safely taken. It can avoid
the deadlock _in this particular case_ at expense of losing contents
of printk_safe buffers.
Note: It would actually be safe to re-init the locks when all CPUs were
stopped by NMI. But it would require passing this information
from arch-specific code. It is not worth the complexity.
Especially because logbuf_lock and printk_safe buffers have been
obsoleted by the lockless ring buffer.
Fixes: cf9b110 ("printk/nmi: flush NMI messages on the system panic")
