Kernel code is used > to printk taking few miliseconds. serial console can be quite slow. and port->lock, that is acquired by console_unlock()->call_console_drivers()->write(), is also accessible by serial driver's IRQ handler, and this lock may be busy long enough -- as long as that IRQ handler transmits/receives chars. but that's not the point.

I'm not happy with those printk_emergency_begin()/end(), sure. but that's the reality -- every single solution that would offload printing duty implies that there will be cases when offloading would not be possible. either PENDING_PRINTK_IPI to other CPUs, or irq_work(PENDING_OUTPUT) on a local CPU, or anything else (um... what it is?... softirq? tasklet? print one logbuf entry from every IRQ handler? dunno, anything else?). There will be cases when we won't be able to expect that something will take over and finish printing for us. Well, may be I'm missing some other solution that would offload printing, eliminating lockup conditions, and at the same time work in 100% of the cases. -ss
