What is step backwards? do_take_over_console appear MUCH MUCH later in kernel than take_over_console, do_take_over_console is the new API, I can't understand what is step backwards. > > --- a/arch/alpha/kernel/console.c > > +++ b/arch/alpha/kernel/console.c > > @@ -61,7 +61,9 @@ locate_and_init_vga(void *(*sel_func)(void *, void *)) > > > > /* Set the VGA hose and init the new console. */ > > pci_vga_hose = hose; > > - take_over_console(&vga_con, 0, MAX_NR_CONSOLES-1, 1); > > + console_lock(); > > + do_take_over_console(&vga_con, 0, MAX_NR_CONSOLES-1, 1); > > + console_unlock(); > > } > > Original was better. Except reduce some console_lock/unlock scatter scattered in kernel, I can't see the "BETTER", and it is not a BIG problem for the benefit to unify the API.
