[PATCH printk v2 6/9] printk: Wait for all reserved records with pr_flush()

From: John Ogness
Date: Mon Nov 06 2023 - 16:07:51 EST


Currently pr_flush() will only wait for records that were
available to readers at the time of the call. But there may be
more records (non-finalized) with following finalized records.
pr_flush() should wait for these to print as well. Particularly
because any trailing finalized records may be the messages that
the calling context wants to ensure are printed.

Fixes: 3b604ca81202 ("printk: add pr_flush()")
