Hi,
this is version 3 of the WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED patch set. The
macro prints a warning if the console's critical sections are
entered without holding the console lock. This patch set allows
to disable the warnings while debugging the console.
In the original approach, WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED was disabled by
setting ignore_console_lock_warning of type bool. As suggested by
Petr Mladek, the new implementation is based on atomic_t and allows
multiple threads to manipulate the warning state concurrently.
With version 3, the patch set now includes the patch for introducing
ignore_console_lock_warning. This patch superseds all previous patches
of the same purpose.
Best regards
Thomas
