WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
syzkaller #0 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz.2.253/5403 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff8c3139a0 (console_owner){....}-{0:0}, at: console_trylock_spinning+0x15c/0x370 kernel/printk/printk.c:1879

but task is already holding lock:

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:
  console_owner --> &port_lock_key --> &port->lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&port->lock);
                               lock(&port_lock_key);
                               lock(&port->lock);
  lock(console_owner);
