Something like: An irq_work function is used because wake_up() cannot be called safely from NMI and scheduler context. > Signed-off-by: John Ogness > --- > include/linux/printk_ringbuffer.h | 20 ++++++++++++++++ > lib/printk_ringbuffer.c | 49 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 2 files changed, 69 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/include/linux/printk_ringbuffer.h b/include/linux/printk_ringbuffer.h > index 5fdaf632c111..106f20ef8b4d 100644 > --- a/include/linux/printk_ringbuffer.h > +++ b/include/linux/printk_ringbuffer.h > @@ -2,8 +2,10 @@ > #ifndef _LINUX_PRINTK_RINGBUFFER_H > #define _LINUX_PRINTK_RINGBUFFER_H > > +#include > #include > #include > +#include > > struct prb_cpulock { > atomic_t owner; > @@ -22,6 +24,10 @@ struct printk_ringbuffer { > > struct prb_cpulock *cpulock; > atomic_t ctx; > + > + struct wait_queue_head *wq; > + atomic_long_t wq_counter; > + struct irq_work *wq_work; > }; > > struct prb_entry { > @@ -59,6 +65,15 @@ struct prb_iterator { > #define DECLARE_STATIC_PRINTKRB(name, szbits, cpulockptr) \ > static char _##name##_buffer[1 << (szbits)] \ > __aligned(__alignof__(long)); \ > +static DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(_##name##_wait); \ > +static void _##name##_wake_work_func(struct irq_work *irq_work) \ > +{ \ > + wake_up_interruptible_all(&_##name##_wait); \ > +} \ All ring buffers might share the same generic function, something like: void prb_wake_readers_work_func(struct irq_work *irq_work) { struct printk_ringbuffer *rb; rb = container_of(irq_work, struct printk_ring_buffer, wq_work); wake_up_interruptible_all(rb->wq); \ } > +static struct irq_work _##name##_wake_work = { \ > + .func = _##name##_wake_work_func, \ > + .flags = IRQ_WORK_LAZY, \ > +}; \ > static struct printk_ringbuffer name = { \ > .buffer = &_##name##_buffer[0], \ > .size_bits = szbits, \ > diff --git a/lib/printk_ringbuffer.c b/lib/printk_ringbuffer.c > index 1d1e886a0966..c2ddf4cb9f92 100644 > --- a/lib/printk_ringbuffer.c > +++ b/lib/printk_ringbuffer.c > @@ -185,6 +188,12 @@ void prb_commit(struct prb_handle *h) > } > > prb_unlock(rb->cpulock, h->cpu); > + > + if (changed) { > + atomic_long_inc(&rb->wq_counter); > + if (wq_has_sleeper(rb->wq)) > + irq_work_queue(rb->wq_work); > + } > } > > /* > @@ -437,3 +446,43 @@ int prb_iter_next(struct prb_iterator *iter, char *buf, int size, u64 *seq) > > return 1; > } > + > +/* > + * prb_iter_wait_next: Advance to the next record, blocking if none available. > + * @iter: Iterator tracking the current position. > + * @buf: A buffer to store the data of the next record.
