syz.4.6/5821 is trying to acquire lock:

ffffffff8eaf4160 (console_owner){....}-{0:0}, at: vprintk_emit+0x4c0/0x6b0 kernel/printk/printk.c:2478

ffff8880374ad510 (&p->pi_lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: task_call_func+0x8b/0x380 kernel/sched/core.c:4476

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 --> &tty->write_wait --> &p->pi_lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&p->pi_lock);
                               lock(&tty->write_wait);
                               lock(&p->pi_lock);
  lock(console_owner);
