From 1fa74b1f789791164316d2bb4b0c52552d9ef9d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Ogness Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2023 21:52:05 +0206 Subject: [PATCH] printk: Consolidate console deferred printing [ Upstream commit 696ffaf50e1f8dbc66223ff614473f945f5fb8d8 ] Printing to consoles can be deferred for several reasons: - explicitly with printk_deferred() - printk() in NMI context - recursive printk() calls The current implementation is not consistent. For printk_deferred(), irq work is scheduled twice. For NMI und recursive, panic CPU suppression and caller delays are not properly enforced. Correct these inconsistencies by consolidating the deferred printing code so that vprintk_deferred() is the top-level function for deferred printing and vprintk_emit() will perform whichever irq_work queueing is appropriate. Also add kerneldoc for wake_up_klogd() and defer_console_output() to clarify their differences and appropriate usage.
