printk: lock/unlock console only for new logbuf entries
Prior to commit 5c2992ee ("printk: remove console flushing special cases for partial buffered lines") we would do console_cont_flush() for each pr_cont() to print cont fragments, so console_unlock() would actually print data: pr_cont(); console_lock(); console_unlock() console_cont_flush(); // print cont fragment ... pr_cont(); console_lock(); console_unlock() console_cont_flush(); // print cont fragment We don't do console_cont_flush() anymore, so when we do pr_cont() console_unlock() does nothing (unless we flushed the cont buffer): pr_cont(); console_lock(); console_unlock(); // noop ... pr_cont(); console_lock(); console_unlock(); // noop ... pr_cont(); cont_flush(); console_lock(); console_unlock(); // print data We also wakeup klogd purposelessly for pr_cont() output - un-flushed cont buffer is not stored in log_buf; there is nothing to pull. Thus we can console_lock()/console_unlock()/wake_up_klogd() only when we know that we log_store()-ed a message and there is something to print to the consoles/syslog.
