From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2023 12:00:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 24/50] printk: nbcon: Provide function to flush using write_atomic() Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.7/older/patches-6.7-rt6.tar.xz Provide nbcon_atomic_flush_all() to perform flushing of all registered nbcon consoles using their write_atomic() callback. Like with legacy consoles, the nbcon consoles are flushed one record per console. This allows all nbcon consoles to print lines pseudo-simultaneously, rather than one console waiting for the full ringbuffer to dump to another console before printing anything. Unlike console_flush_all(), nbcon_atomic_flush_all() 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. Perform nbcon console atomic flushing in console_flush_on_panic(). This function is not only used in panic() but also other locations where there may be stored messages that need to be flushed.
