[PATCH printk v2 10/11] rcu: Add atomic write enforcement for rcu stalls

From: John Ogness
Date: Tue Sep 19 2023 - 19:10:11 EST


Invoke the atomic write enforcement functions for rcu stalls to
ensure that the information gets out to the consoles.

It is important to note that if there are any legacy consoles
registered, they will be attempting to directly print from the
printk-caller context, which may jeopardize the reliability of
the atomic consoles. Optimally there should be no legacy
consoles registered.
