But it is not that important and might be solved later. I am sorry for not noticing it last time. > diff --git a/kernel/printk/printk.c b/kernel/printk/printk.c > index cf8c242..f719118 100644 > --- a/kernel/printk/printk.c > +++ b/kernel/printk/printk.c > @@ -84,6 +84,10 @@ static struct lockdep_map console_lock_dep_map = { > }; > #endif > > +#ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK_CON_EXTENDED > + > +#define CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_BUF_LEN CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_MAX > + > /* > * Number of registered extended console drivers. > * > @@ -96,6 +100,32 @@ static struct lockdep_map console_lock_dep_map = { > */ > static int nr_ext_console_drivers; > > +static void inc_nr_ext_console_drivers(void) > +{ > + nr_ext_console_drivers++; > +} > + > +static void dec_nr_ext_console_drivers(void) > +{ > + nr_ext_console_drivers--; > +} > + > +#else /* CONFIG_PRINTK_CON_EXTENDED */ > + > +#define CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_BUF_LEN 0 > +#define nr_ext_console_drivers 0 > + > +static void inc_nr_ext_console_drivers(void) > +{ > + WARN_ONCE(true, "printk: CON_EXTENDED requested when !CONFIG_PRINTK_CON_EXTENDED\n"); > +} > + > +static void dec_nr_ext_console_drivers(void) > +{ > +} > + > +#endif /* CONFIG_PRINTK_CON_EXTENDED */ > + > /* > * Helper macros to handle lockdep when locking/unlocking console_sem.

It does not make sense if we do not increment the counter.
