FSP/CONSOLE: Close SOL session during R/R
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Presently we are not closing SOL and FW console sessions during R/R. Host will
continue to write to SOL buffer during FSP R/R. If there is heavy console write
operation happening during FSP R/R (like running `top` command inside console),
then at some point console buffer becomes full. fsp_console_write_buffer_space()
returns 0 (or less than required space to write data) to host. While one thread
is busy writing to console, if some other threads tries to write data to console
we may see RCU stalls (like below) in kernel.

kernel call trace:

Hence lets close SOL (and FW console) during FSP R/R.
