+Subject: [PATCH 22/62] printk: avoid preempt_disable() for PREEMPT_RT
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.1/older/patches-6.1.69-rt21.tar.xz
+
+During non-normal operation, printk() calls will attempt to
+write the messages directly to the consoles. This involves
+using console_trylock() to acquire @console_sem.
+
+Preemption is disabled while directly printing to the consoles
+in order to ensure that the printing task is not scheduled away
+while holding @console_sem, thus blocking all other printers
+and causing delays in printing.
+
+Commit fd5f7cde1b85 ("printk: Never set console_may_schedule in
+console_trylock()") specifically reverted a previous attempt at
+allowing preemption while printing.
+
+However, on PREEMPT_RT systems, disabling preemption while
+printing is not allowed because console drivers typically
+acquire a spin lock (which under PREEMPT_RT is an rtmutex).
+Since direct printing is only used during early boot and
+non-panic dumps, the risks of delayed print output for these
+scenarios will be accepted under PREEMPT_RT.
