From 9533ec27513ccbb9facc8c758cee037e26c2a568 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Ogness Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2023 17:43:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 145/204] printk: Atomic print in printk context on shutdown For nbcon consoles, normally the printing is handled by the dedicated console printing threads. However, on shutdown the printing threads may not get a chance to print the final messages. When shutting down or rebooting (system_state > SYSTEM_RUNNING), perform atomic printing from the printk() caller context.
