Subject: [PATCH] prinkt/nbcon: Add a scheduling point to nbcon_kthread_func().
Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2024 11:43:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240620094300.YJlW043f@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240620093246.HE9XDWSZ@linutronix.de>
Constant printing can lead to a CPU hog in nbcon_kthread_func(). The
context is preemptible but on !PREEMPT kernels there is no explicit
preemption point which leads softlockup warnings.
Add an explicit preemption point in nbcon_kthread_func().
