printk: printk: Remove unnecessary statements＇len = 0;＇

2023-10-24T08:19:48Z

In the following two functions, len has already been assigned a value of 0 when defining the variable, so remove 'len=0;'. Signed-off-by: Li kunyu Reviewed-by: Petr Mladek Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231023062359.130633-1-kunyu@nfschina.com

printk: Constify name for add_preferred_console()

2023-10-17T08:18:59Z

While adding a preferred console handling for serial_core for serial port hardware based device addressing, Jiri suggested we constify name for add_preferred_console(). The name gets copied anyways. This allows serial core to add a preferred console using serial drv->dev_name without copying it. Note that constifying options causes changes all over the place because of struct console for match().

printk: Check valid console index for preferred console

2023-10-17T08:18:59Z

Let's check for valid console index values for preferred console to avoid bogus console index numbers from kernel command line. Let's also return an error for negative index numbers for the preferred console. Unlike for device drivers, a negative index is not valid for the preferred console. Let's also constify idx while at it. Signed-off-by: Tony Lindgren Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231012064300.50221-1-tony@atomide.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

printk: Reduce pr_flush() pooling time

2023-10-11T12:04:10Z

pr_flush() does not guarantee that all messages would really get flushed to the console. The best it could do is to wait with a given timeout.[*] The current interval 100ms for checking the progress might seem too long in some situations. For example, such delays are not appreciated during suspend and resume especially when the consoles have been flushed "long" time before the check. On the other hand, the sleeping wait might be useful in other situations. Especially, it would allow flushing the messages using printk kthreads on the same CPU[*]. Use msleep(1) as a compromise. Also measure the time using jiffies. msleep() does not guarantee precise wakeup after the given delay. It might be much longer, especially for times < 20s. See Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst for more details. Note that msecs_to_jiffies() already translates a negative value into an infinite timeout. [*] console_unlock() does not guarantee flushing the consoles since the commit dbdda842fe96f893 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes"). It would be possible to guarantee it another way. For example, the spinning might be enabled only when the console_lock has been taken via console_trylock(). But the load balancing is helpful. And more importantly, the flush with a timeout has been added as a preparation step for introducing printk kthreads.

printk: flush consoles before checking progress

2023-10-09T08:15:04Z

Commit 9e70a5e109a4 ("printk: Add per-console suspended state") removed console lock usage during resume and replaced it with the clearly defined console_list_lock and srcu mechanisms. However, the console lock usage had an important side-effect of flushing the consoles. After its removal, consoles were no longer flushed before checking their progress. Add the console_lock/console_unlock dance to the beginning of __pr_flush() to actually flush the consoles before checking their progress. Also add comments to clarify this additional usage of the console lock. Note that console_unlock() does not guarantee flushing all messages since the commit dbdda842fe96f89 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes").
