Subject[PATCH printk v1 16/18] kernel/panic: Add atomic write enforcement to warn/panic
Date
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Invoke the atomic write enforcement functions for warn/panic to
ensure that the information gets out to the consoles.

For the panic case, add explicit intermediate atomic flush calls to
ensure immediate flushing at important points. Otherwise the atomic
flushing only occurs when dropping out of the elevated priority,
which for panic may never happen.

It is important to note that if there are any legacy consoles
registered, they will be attempting to directly print from the
printk-caller context, which may jeopardize the reliability of the
atomic consoles. Optimally there should be no legacy consoles
registered.
