WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

------------------------------------------------------
kworker/1:5/6011 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88801b8990b8 (&buf->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: tty_buffer_flush+0x72/0x310 drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c:229

but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff8e5af000 (console_lock){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: vc_SAK+0x13/0x310 drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:999

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &buf->lock --> &tty->termios_rwsem --> console_lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(console_lock);
                               lock(&tty->termios_rwsem);
                               lock(console_lock);
  lock(&buf->lock);
