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 * via @printk_func per-CPU variable.
37 * The implementation allows to flush the strings also from another CPU.
38 * There are situations when we want to make sure that all buffers
39 * were handled or when IRQs are blocked.
