syzbot is reporting circular locking dependency which involves
zonelist_update_seq seqlock [1], for this lock is checked by memory
allocation requests which do not need to be retried.

One deadlock scenario is kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from an interrupt handler.

  CPU0
  ----
  __build_all_zonelists() {
    write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount odd
    // e.g. timer interrupt handler runs at this moment
      some_timer_func() {
        kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) {
          __alloc_pages_slowpath() {
            read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) {
              // spins forever because zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd
            }
          }
        }
      }
    // e.g. timer interrupt handler finishes
    write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq); // makes zonelist_update_seq.seqcount even
  }

This deadlock scenario can be easily eliminated by not calling
read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) from !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation
requests, for retry is applicable to only __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation
requests.  But Michal Hocko does not know whether we should go with this
approach.

Another deadlock scenario which syzbot is reporting is a race between
kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) from tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer() with
port->lock held and printk() from __build_all_zonelists() with
zonelist_update_seq held.

                                         }
    }
  }

This deadlock scenario can be eliminated by

  preventing interrupt context from calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)

and

  preventing printk() from calling console_flush_all()

while zonelist_update_seq.seqcount is odd.

Since Petr Mladek thinks that __build_all_zonelists() can become a
candidate for deferring printk() [2], let's address this problem by

  disabling local interrupts in order to avoid kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)

and

  disabling synchronous printk() in order to avoid console_flush_all()

.

As a side effect of minimizing duration of zonelist_update_seq.seqcount
being odd by disabling synchronous printk(), latency at
read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) for both !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM and
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM allocation requests will be reduced.  Although, from
lockdep perspective, not calling read_seqbegin(&zonelist_update_seq) (i.e.
do not record unnecessary locking dependency) from interrupt context is
still preferable, even if we don't allow calling kmalloc(GFP_ATOMIC)
inside
write_seqlock(&zonelist_update_seq)/write_sequnlock(&zonelist_update_seq)
