Yes, but there is also the other side: Are there preemptible code paths
that are calling console_trylock()? And if yes, then why are they not
using console_lock()?
There is only a handfull of console_trylock() users (about 10
sites). Most of them appear to be differentiating from preemptible and
non-preemptible contexts. I will investigate them in detail.
If the raw_smp_processor_id() is changed to smp_processor_id() within
the console_trylock()/console_unlock() call path, then at least the
kernel's lock debugging would identify if there are preemptible contexts
that are using console_trylock().
