+From b4bf7654e00cd7da0d18577698e25eb199de2d57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

+Subject: [PATCH 208/347] printk: Drop the logbuf_lock more often
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.246-rt110.tar.xz
+
+The lock is hold with irgs off. The latency drops 500us+ on my arm bugs
+with a "full" buffer after executing "dmesg" on the shell.
+
+Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
