Subject: [PATCH printk v4 15/27] printk: nbcon: Provide function to flush using write_atomic()
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>
Provide nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() to perform flushing of all
registered nbcon consoles using their write_atomic() callback.
Unlike console_flush_all(), nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() 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.
Also unlike console_flush_all(), nbcon_atomic_flush_pending()
will fully flush one console before flushing the next. This
helps to guarantee that a block of pending records (such as
a stack trace in an emergency situation) can be printed
atomically at once before releasing console ownership.
nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() is safe in any context because it
uses write_atomic() and acquires with unsafe_takeover disabled.
Use it in console_flush_on_panic() before flushing legacy
consoles. The legacy write() callbacks are not fully safe when
oops_in_progress is set.
