Subject: [PATCH printk v2 14/26] printk: nbcon: Provide function to flush using write_atomic()
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>
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.
