yep, that's the proposal.


hm, this also should align with one more thing.

we briefly discussed it before, and it was on my list, that
wake_up(printk_kthread) _eventually_ better be moved to console_unlock()
[1] (I also had it in the slides at KS, but I believe we didn't have much
time back then).

vprintk_emit() is not the only console_lock() caller. user space does
console_lock() and console_unlock() calls, and in some cases a user
space process can stuck in system call printing kernel messages to a
potentially slow console [2]. it can be unpleasant, but far less dramatic
than doing console_unlock() from IRQ, or under spin_lock. so it was
moved down the list. seems we have one more reason to reshuffle the
list and do offloading from console_unlock() from the beginning.

will take a look.

/* in our "in-house" kernels we do 'async' console_unlock(). not
exactly the way it's shown in [1], but quite similar. */
