From 608873cacb9d0d2811586fcc79a38b64eabd6d32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:11:35 -0700 Subject: printk: release lockbuf_lock before calling console_trylock_for_printk() There's no reason to hold lockbuf_lock when entering console_trylock_for_printk(). The first thing this function does is to call down_trylock(console_sem) and if that fails it immediately unlocks lockbuf_lock. So lockbuf_lock isn't needed for that branch. When down_trylock() succeeds, the rest of console_trylock() is OK without lockbuf_lock (it is called without it from other places), and the only remaining thing in console_trylock_for_printk() is can_use_console() call. For that call console_sem is enough (it iterates all consoles and checks CON_ANYTIME flag). So we drop logbuf_lock before entering console_trylock_for_printk() which simplifies the code.
