Really?


  console_trylock_spinning(); /* console_owner now equals current */
  console_unlock() {

---> take interrupt here:

					vprintk() {
					   vprintk_func() {
					      if (console_owner == current && !__ratelimit(&ratelimit_console))

				[ RATE LIMIT HERE!!!! ]


	for (;;) {
		printk_safe_enter_irqsave(flags);
