In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu-tasks: Avoid pr_info() with spin lock in cblist_init_generic()
pr_info() is called with rtp->cbs_gbl_lock spin lock locked. Because
pr_info() calls printk() that might sleep, this will result in BUG
like below:
[ 0.206455] cblist_init_generic: Setting adjustable number of callback queues.
