It's that simple. Like this? --- >% -- Subject: [PATCH] genirq: Disable printk() during irq probe printk() disables interrupts for extended periods of time while outputting to console drivers. This breaks irq probing since the triggered irq may not be serviced (in time) if scheduled on the printk() cpu. Claim the console_lock() which effectively disables console output.
