mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.19-rc1 commit 6b9dbedbe3499fef862c4dff5217cf91f34e43b3 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5T1KJ CVE: NA
--------------------------------
pty_write() invokes kmalloc() which may invoke a normal printk() to print failure message. This can cause a deadlock in the scenario reported by syz-bot below:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 ---- ---- ---- lock(console_owner); lock(&port_lock_key); lock(&port->lock); lock(&port_lock_key); lock(&port->lock); lock(console_owner);
As commit dbdda842fe96 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes") said, such deadlock can be prevented by using printk_deferred() in kmalloc() (which is invoked in the section guarded by the port->lock). But there are too many printk() on the kmalloc() path, and kmalloc() can be called from anywhere, so changing printk() to printk_deferred() is too complicated and inelegant.
Therefore, this patch chooses to specify __GFP_NOWARN to kmalloc(), so that printk() will not be called, and this deadlock problem can be avoided.
Syzbot reported the following lockdep error: Reviewed-by: Wang Weiyang wangweiyang2@huawei.com
