From 56e6c104e4f151e19eb410004405ec52b4f8605a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Zimmermann Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2018 13:06:57 +0200 Subject: console: Replace #if 0 with atomic var 'ignore_console_lock_warning' The macro WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED prints a warning when a thread enters the console's critical section without having acquired the console lock. The console lock can be ignored when debugging the console using printk, but this makes WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED generate unnecessary warnings. The variable ignore_console_lock_warning temporarily disables WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED. Developers interested in debugging the console's critical sections should increment it before entering the CS and decrement it after leaving the CS. Setting ignore_console_lock_warning is only for debugging. Regular operation should not manipulate it. Acknoledgements: This patch is based on an earlier version by Steven Rostedt. The use of atomic increment/decrement was suggested by Petr Mladek.
