For same reasons (recursive scheduler or # timekeeping calls) printk() uses per-CPU irq_work in order to wake up # user space syslog/kmsg readers. # # However, only printk_safe/printk_nmi do make sure that per-CPU areas # have been initialised and that it's safe to modify per-CPU irq_work. # This means that, for instance, should printk_deferred() be invoked "too # early", that is before per-CPU areas are initialised, printk_deferred() # will perform illegal per-CPU access. # # Lech Perczak [0] reports that after commit 1b710b1b10ef ("char/random: # silence a lockdep splat with printk()") user-space syslog/kmsg readers # are not able to read new kernel messages. # # The reason is printk_deferred() being called too early (as was pointed # out by Petr and John). # # Fix printk_deferred() and do not queue per-CPU irq_work before per-CPU # areas are initialized. #
