There is a potential task of deadlock. Because the mask
is 0, the deadlock does not occur now. But There is a
potential task. If someone change the mask of mlog, but
forget to modify the order of the mlog and spin_unlock,
There will be a potential deadlock.So I move the mlog
from the spinlock to outsize.

The patch is obviously OK but I don't see any deadlock.  mlog() doesn't
take any locks?

I guess Shuning refers the calling of printk with spin lock.

Yes, It is the calling of printk.

Sorry for the description is not clear enough. :)

IIUC, we can call printk with spinlock, no deadlock will happen.
So I have the same question, where is the "potential deadlock"?

Thanks,

I apology for my stupidity.

I have always had a wrong memory, I think printk() can sleep.

@Andrew Please can you help me to withdraw this patch?
