printk_deferred(), similarly to printk_safe/printk_nmi, does not immediately attempt to print a new message on the consoles, avoiding calls into non-reentrant kernel paths, e.g. scheduler or timekeeping, which potentially can deadlock the system. Those printk() flavors, instead, rely on per-CPU flush irq_work to print messages from safer contexts. For same reasons (recursive scheduler or timekeeping calls) printk() uses per-CPU irq_work in order to wake up user space syslog/kmsg readers.
However, only printk_safe/printk_nmi do make sure that per-CPU areas have been initialised and that it's safe to modify per-CPU irq_work. This means that, for instance, should printk_deferred() be invoked "too early", that is before per-CPU areas are initialised, printk_deferred() will perform illegal per-CPU access.
Lech Perczak [0] reports that after commit 1b710b1b10ef ("char/random: silence a lockdep splat with printk()") user-space syslog/kmsg readers are not able to read new kernel messages. The reason is printk_deferred() being called too early (as was pointed out by Petr and John).
Fix printk_deferred() and do not queue per-CPU irq_work before per-CPU areas are initialized.
