[PATCH] printk/nbcon: Add assert that CPU migration is disabled when calling nbcon_context_try_acquire()

From: Petr Mladek
Date: Wed Sep 20 2023 - 08:51:50 EST


The nbcon console is locked when the 'prio' and 'cpu' fields in
console->nbcon_state stay the same. The locking algorithm would
break when the locked context got migrated to another CPU.

Add assert into nbcon_context_try_acquire(). It would warn when
the function is called in a context where the CPU migration
is possible.

I propose this patch on top of the patchset adding basic support
for nbcon consoles, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230916192007.608398-1-john.ogness@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Or another way, it is on top of rework/nbcon-base branch in
printk/linux.git tree.
