hi, sergey:
As shown in that link, https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/6/397
On the linux kernel 5.0-rc6, Syzkaller also hit 'possible deadlock in console_unlock'
bug for several times in my environment.
This solution fixes things for me. Do you have a plan to submit patches to
solve this problem.
diff --git a/drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c b/drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c
__printk_safe_enter();
kmalloc(sizeof(struct tty_buffer) + 2 * size, GFP_ATOMIC);
__printk_safe_exit();
Best regards,
Hongbo
