Subject: [PATCH printk v4 6/8] printk: introduce console_prepend_dropped() for dropped messages
Date: Thu,  5 Jan 2023 11:43:33 +0106	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230105103735.880956-7-john.ogness@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230105103735.880956-1-john.ogness@linutronix.de>

Currently "dropped messages" are separately printed immediately
before printing the printk message. Since normal consoles are
now using an output buffer that is much larger than previously,
the "dropped message" could be prepended to the printk message
and then output everything in a single write() call.

Introduce a helper function console_prepend_dropped() to prepend
an existing message with a "dropped message". This simplifies
the code by allowing all message formatting to be handled
together and then only requires a single write() call to output
the full message. And since this helper does not require any
locking, it can be used in the future for other console printing
contexts as well.
