Subject: [PATCH printk v2 11/18] printk: nbcon: Show replay message on takeover
An emergency or panic context can takeover console ownership
while the current owner was printing a printk message. The
atomic printer will re-print the message that the previous
owner was printing. However, this can look confusing to the
user and may even seem as though a message was lost.
[3430014.1
[3430014.181123] usb 1-2: Product: USB Audio
Add a new field @nbcon_prev_seq to struct console to track
the sequence number to print that was assigned to the previous
console owner. If this matches the sequence number to print
that the current owner is assigned, then a takeover must have
occurred. In this case, print an additional message to inform
the user that the previous message is being printed again.
[3430014.1
** replaying previous printk message **
