29 * printk() could not take logbuf_lock in NMI context. Instead,
30 * it uses an alternative implementation that temporary stores
31 * the strings into a per-CPU buffer. The content of the buffer
32 * is later flushed into the main ring buffer via IRQ work.
34 * The alternative implementation is chosen transparently
35 * by examinig current printk() context mask stored in @printk_context
38 * The implementation allows to flush the strings also from another CPU.
39 * There are situations when we want to make sure that all buffers
40 * were handled or when IRQs are blocked.
