So this iterates the console list and calls consoles' callbacks, but what
prevents console driver to be rmmod-ed under us?
CPU0 CPU1
printk_emergency() rmmod netcon
call_emergency_console_drivers()
con_foo->flags & CON_ENABLED == 1
unregister_console(con_foo)
con_foo->flags &= ~CON_ENABLED
__exit // con_foo gone ?
con_foo->write()
We use console_lock()/console_trylock() in order to protect the list and
console drivers; but this brings scheduler to the picture, with all its
locks.
Or am I missing something?
