    serial: pl011: Fix lockdep splat when handling magic-sysrq interrupt · 534cf755
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    Issuing a magic-sysrq via the PL011 causes the following lockdep splat,
    which is easily reproducible under QEMU:
    
      | sysrq: Changing Loglevel
      | sysrq: Loglevel set to 9
      |
      | ======================================================
      | WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
      | 5.9.0-rc7 #1 Not tainted
      | ------------------------------------------------------
      | systemd-journal/138 is trying to acquire lock:
      | ffffab133ad950c0 (console_owner){-.-.}-{0:0}, at: console_lock_spinning_enable+0x34/0x70
      |
      | but task is already holding lock:
      | ffff0001fd47b098 (&port_lock_key){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: pl011_int+0x40/0x488
      |
      | which lock already depends on the new lock.
    
      [...]
    
      |  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
      |
      |        CPU0                    CPU1
      |        ----                    ----
      |   lock(&port_lock_key);
      |                                lock(console_owner);
      |                                lock(&port_lock_key);
      |   lock(console_owner);
      |
      |  *** DEADLOCK ***
    
    The issue being that CPU0 takes 'port_lock' on the irq path in pl011_int()
    before taking 'console_owner' on the printk() path, whereas CPU1 takes
    the two locks in the opposite order on the printk() path due to setting
    the "console_owner" prior to calling into into the actual console driver.
    
    Fix this in the same way as the msm-serial driver by dropping 'port_lock'
    before handling the sysrq.
