[PATCH printk v1 18/18] printk: Perform atomic flush in console_flush_on_panic()

From: John Ogness
Date: Thu Mar 02 2023 - 14:59:03 EST


Typically the panic() function will take care of atomic flushing the
non-BKL consoles on panic. However, there are several users of
console_flush_on_panic() outside of panic().

Also perform atomic flushing in console_flush_on_panic(). A new
function cons_force_seq() is implemented to support the
mode=CONSOLE_REPLAY_ALL feature.
