+Subject: [PATCH 20/48] printk: nbcon: Provide function to flush using
+ write_atomic()
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
+
+Provide nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() to perform flushing of all
+registered nbcon consoles using their write_atomic() callback.
+
+Unlike console_flush_all(), nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() will
+only flush up through the newest record at the time of the
+call. This prevents a CPU from printing unbounded when other
+CPUs are adding records.
+
+Also unlike console_flush_all(), nbcon_atomic_flush_pending()
+will fully flush one console before flushing the next. This
+helps to guarantee that a block of pending records (such as
+a stack trace in an emergency situation) can be printed
+atomically at once before releasing console ownership.
+
+nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() is safe in any context because it
+uses write_atomic() and acquires with unsafe_takeover disabled.
+
+Use it in console_flush_on_panic() before flushing legacy
+consoles. The legacy write() callbacks are not fully safe when
+oops_in_progress is set.
