Hi Linus,
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux.git tags/printk-for-6.2
========================================
- Add NMI-safe SRCU reader API. It uses atomic_inc() instead of
this_cpu_inc() on strong load-store architectures.
- Introduce new console_list_lock to synchronize a manipulation of the list
of registered consoles and their flags.
It is a first step in removing the big-kernel-lock-like behavior of
console_lock(). This semaphore still serializes console->write()
calbacks against:
- each other. It primary prevents potential races between early and
proper console drivers using the same device.
- suspend()/resume() callbacks and init() operations in some drivers.
- various other operations in the tty/vt and framebufer susbsystems.
It is likely that console_lock() serializes even operations that are
not directly conflicting with the console->write() callbacks here.
This is the most complicated big-kernel-lock aspect of
the console_lock() that will be hard to untangle.
- Introduce new console_srcu lock that is used to safely iterate and
access the registered console drivers under SRCU read lock.
It is a prerequisite for introducing atomic console drivers and console
kthreads. It will reduce the complexity of serialization against normal
consoles and console_lock(). Also it should remove the risk of deadlock
during critical situations, like Oops or panic, when only atomic consoles
are registered.
- Check whether the console is registered instead of enabled on many
locations. It was a historical leftover.
- Cleanly force a preferred console in xenfb code instead of a dirty hack.
- A lot of code and comment clean ups and improvements.
=========================================
Notes:
1. The NMI-safe SRCU read API code is merged from Paul's RCU tree.
It is going to be part of Paul's pull request as well.
2. The major changes reached linux-next at Oct 22. The branch
rework/console-list-lock has been rebased two times last
week to get follow up fixes from RCU tree. They fixed issues
with non-standard configurations.
IMHO, the biggest risk of these changes would be in introducing new
races or deadlocks because of the new locks.
Anyway, it should be step in the right direction. The big-kernel-lock
behavior of console_lock() is a constant source of problems. The SRCU
lock allows to iterate the list of consoles safely anytime. Also there
are many new lockdep asserts that would allow to catch and nail down
potential problems.
