There is a deadlock with the console_owner lock and the wd_smp_lock: CPU x takes the console_owner lock CPU y takes a watchdog timer interrupt and takes __wd_smp_lock CPU x takes a soft-NMI interrupt, detects deadlock, spins on __wd_smp_lock CPU y detects deadlock, tries to print something and spins on console_owner -> deadlock Change the watchdog locking scheme so wd_smp_lock protects the watchdog internal data, but "reporting" (printing, issuing NMI IPIs, taking any action outside of watchdog) uses a non-waiting exclusion. If a CPU detects a problem but can not take the reporting lock, it just returns because something else is already reporting. It will try again at some point. Typically hard lockup watchdog report usefulness is not impacted due to failure to spewing a large enough amount of data in as short a time as possible, but by messages getting garbled. Laurent debugged this and found the deadlock, and this patch is based on his general approach to avoid expensive operations while holding the lock. With the addition of the reporting exclusion.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
