When CPU 1 enters the nohz_full state, and the kworker on CPU 0 executes
the function sched_tick_remote, holding the lock on CPU1's rq
and triggering the warning WARN_ON_ONCE(delta > (u64)NSEC_PER_SEC * 3).
This leads to the process of printing the warning message, where the
console_sem semaphore is held. At this point, the print task on the
CPU1's rq cannot acquire the console_sem and joins the wait queue,
entering the UNINTERRUPTIBLE state. It waits for the console_sem to be
released and then wakes up. After the task on CPU 0 releases
the console_sem, it wakes up the waiting console_sem task.
In try_to_wake_up, it attempts to acquire the lock on CPU1's rq again,
resulting in a deadlock.
The triggering scenario is as follows:
CPU 0 CPU1
sched_tick_remote
WARN_ON_ONCE(delta > (u64)NSEC_PER_SEC * 3)
report_bug con_write
printk
console_unlock
do_con_write
console_lock
down(&console_sem)
list_add_tail(&waiter.list, &sem->wait_list);
up(&console_sem)
wake_up_q(&wake_q)
try_to_wake_up
__task_rq_lock
_raw_spin_lock
This patch fixes the issue by deffering all printk console printing
during the lock holding period.

and it seems that the mainline has the same problem, but I haven't submitted
a patch yet.
trees, thanks.
