The function __netpoll_send_skb() is being invoked without holding the
RCU read lock. This oversight triggers a warning message when
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST is enabled:
net/core/netpoll.c:330 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
netpoll_send_skb
netpoll_send_udp
write_ext_msg
console_flush_all
console_unlock
vprintk_emit
To prevent npinfo from disappearing unexpectedly, ensure that
__netpoll_send_skb() is protected with the RCU read lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
