From 51a1d258e50e03a0216bf42b6af9ff34ec402ac1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Ogness Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2023 21:52:03 +0206 Subject: [PATCH] printk: Keep non-panic-CPUs out of console lock When in a panic situation, non-panic CPUs should avoid holding the console lock so as not to contend with the panic CPU. This is already implemented with abandon_console_lock_in_panic(), which is checked after each printed line. However, non-panic CPUs should also avoid trying to acquire the console lock during a panic. Modify console_trylock() to fail and console_lock() to block() when called from a non-panic CPU during a panic.
