[PATCH printk v4 17/27] printk: nbcon: Use nbcon consoles in console_flush_all()

From: John Ogness
Date: Tue Apr 02 2024 - 18:15:00 EST


Allow nbcon consoles to print messages in the legacy printk()
caller context (printing via unlock) by integrating them into
console_flush_all(). The write_atomic() callback is used for
printing.

Provide nbcon_legacy_emit_next_record(), which acts as the
nbcon variant of console_emit_next_record(). Call this variant
within console_flush_all() for nbcon consoles. Since nbcon
consoles use their own @nbcon_seq variable to track the next
record to print, this also must be appropriately handled.
