[PATCH v2 0/2] printk: Reduce unnecessary wait times by pr_flush()

From: Petr Mladek
Date: Fri Oct 06 2023 - 04:22:08 EST


This is an updated version of the patch
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230929113233.863824-1-john.ogness@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Changes since v1:

+ Split reduction of the pooling time into separate patch.
+ Use jiffies to count the real sleeping time.

Note that my original POC counted jiffies spent in the entire cycle.
It would count also the time spent by console_lock() and by flushing
the legacy consoles in console_unlock().

The current version counts only the time spent by msleep(1) aka
the pooling interval.
