+Subject: [PATCH 096/134] printk: Disable passing console lock owner completely
+ during panic()
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.6/older/patches-6.6.7-rt18.tar.xz
+
+The commit d51507098ff91 ("printk: disable optimistic spin
+during panic") added checks to avoid becoming a console waiter
+if a panic is in progress.
+
+However, the transition to panic can occur while there is
+already a waiter. The current owner should not pass the lock to
+the waiter because it might get stopped or blocked anytime.
+
+Also the panic context might pass the console lock owner to an
+already stopped waiter by mistake. It might happen when
+console_flush_on_panic() ignores the current lock owner, for
+example:
+
+CPU0 CPU1
+---- ----
+console_lock_spinning_enable()
+ console_trylock_spinning()
+ [CPU1 now console waiter]
+NMI: panic()
+ panic_other_cpus_shutdown()
+ [stopped as console waiter]
+ console_flush_on_panic()
+ console_lock_spinning_enable()
+ [print 1 record]
+ console_lock_spinning_disable_and_check()
+ [handover to stopped CPU1]
+
+This results in panic() not flushing the panic messages.
+
+Fix these problems by disabling all spinning operations
+completely during panic().
+
+Another advantage is that it prevents possible deadlocks caused
+by "console_owner_lock". The panic() context does not need to
+take it any longer. The lockless checks are safe because the
+functions become NOPs when they see the panic in progress. All
+operations manipulating the state are still synchronized by the
+lock even when non-panic CPUs would notice the panic
+synchronously.
+
+The current owner might stay spinning. But non-panic() CPUs
+would get stopped anyway and the panic context will never start
+spinning.
