Antonino A. Daplas 78944e549d [PATCH] vt: printk: Fix framebuffer console triggering might_sleep assertion
Reported by: Dave Jones

Whilst printk'ing to both console and serial console, I got this...
(2.6.18rc1)

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/sched.c:4438
in_atomic():0, irqs_disabled():1

Call Trace:

 [<ffffffff8026419e>] child_rip+0x8/0x12

This can occur when release_console_sem() is called but the log
buffer still has contents that need to be flushed. The console drivers
are called while the console_may_schedule flag is still true. The
might_sleep() is triggered when fbcon calls console_conditional_schedule().

Fix by setting console_may_schedule to zero earlier, before the call to the
console drivers.
