From eb7f1ed2509c6223d960a7d69644a8eb506b13d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Ogness Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2022 17:27:28 +0106 Subject: [PATCH] printk: __pr_flush: use srcu console list iterator Use srcu console list iteration for console list traversal. Document why the console_lock is still necessary. Note that this is a preparatory change for when console_lock no longer provides synchronization for the console list.
