Message-Id: <1354813571-11253-6-git-send-email-schnhrr@cs.tu-berlin.de> Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2012 18:06:02 +0100 From: Jan H. Schönherr <schnhrr@...tu-berlin.de> To: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, Kay Sievers <kay@...y.org> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Joe Perches <joe@...ches.com>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, Stephen Rothwell <sfr@...b.auug.org.au>, Jan H. Schönherr <schnhrr@...tu-berlin.de> Subject: [PATCH v2 05/14] printk: reuse reclaimed continuation buffer immediately cont_add() might flush the continuation buffer before appending anything. If that happens, the function returns immediately, forcing the calling function to store the message elsewhere. This is not always necessary. When the continuation buffer was reclaimed (and not just marked as "flushed"), then we can reuse it immediately instead of returning false. Signed-off-by: Jan H.
