Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250: Clear CON_PRINTBUFFER on port re-registration
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 17:29:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416092917.27301-1-fushuai.wang@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Fushuai Wang <wangfushuai@baidu.com>

When two PnP devices map to the same physical port, the serial8250 driver
removes and re-registers the console structure for the same port.

During re-registration, the console structure still has CON_PRINTBUFFER set
from the initial registration, which causes console_init_seq() to set
console->seq to syslog_seq. This results in re-printing the entire
system log buffer, which may lead to RCU stall on slow serial consoles.

Clear CON_PRINTBUFFER when re-registering a port to prevent duplicate
log printing.
