From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2023 13:03:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 40/50] printk: nbcon: Add printer thread wakeups Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.7/older/patches-6.7-rt6.tar.xz Add a function to wakeup the printer threads. Use the new function when: - records are added to the printk ringbuffer - consoles are resumed - triggered via printk_trigger_flush() The actual waking is performed via irq_work so that the wakeup can be triggered from any context.
