WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

------------------------------------------------------
kworker/0:1/9 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff8880186510b8 (&buf->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: tty_buffer_flush+0x79/0x3f0 drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c:229

but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff8d126400 (console_lock){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: vc_SAK+0x28/0x220 drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:985

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);
