From 20fb0c8272bbb102d15bdd11aa64f828619dd7cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Mladek Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2022 16:51:52 +0200 Subject: Revert "printk: Wait for the global console lock when the system is going down" This reverts commit b87f02307d3cfbda768520f0687c51ca77e14fc3. The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed missing synchronization between early and regular console functionality. It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround. But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not considered by people involved in the development and review. printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.
