| |
5.4.44-rt27-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de>
Even though the printk kthread is always preemptible, it is still not allowed to call cond_resched() from within console drivers. The task may become non-preemptible in the console driver call chain. For example, vt_console_print() takes a spinlock and then can call into fbcon_redraw(), which can conditionally invoke cond_resched():

Disable cond_resched() for the call into the console drivers.
