[ Upstream commit bd44ca3de49cc1badcff7a96010fa2c64f04868c ]
Currently the dma debugging code can end up indirectly calling printk under the radix_lock. This happens when a radix tree node allocation fails.
This is a problem because the printk code, when used together with netconsole, can end up inside the dma debugging code while trying to transmit a message over netcons.
This creates the possibility of either a circular deadlock on the same CPU, with that CPU trying to grab the radix_lock twice, or an ABBA deadlock between different CPUs, where one CPU grabs the console lock first and then waits for the radix_lock, while the other CPU is holding the radix_lock and is waiting for the console lock.
The trace captured by lockdep is of the ABBA variant.

This bug is more likely than it seems, because when one CPU has run out of memory, chances are the other has too.
The good news is, this bug is hidden behind the CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG, so not many users are likely to trigger it.
