Linux kernel source tree
Guarantee safe iteration of the console list by using SRCU. Note that in the case of a handover, the SRCU read lock is also released. This is documented in the function description and as comments in the code. It is a bit tricky, but this preserves the lockdep lock ordering for the context handing over the console_lock: console_lock() | mutex_acquire(&console_lock_dep_map) <-- console lock | console_unlock() | console_flush_all() | | srcu_read_lock(&console_srcu) <-- srcu lock | | console_emit_next_record() | | | console_lock_spinning_disable_and_check() | | | | srcu_read_unlock(&console_srcu) <-- srcu unlock | | | | mutex_release(&console_lock_dep_map) <-- console unlock Signed-off-by: John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221116162152.193147-16-john.ogness@linutronix.de |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
