There are many call sites where console flushing occur. Depending on the system state and types of consoles, the flush methods to use are different. A flush call site generally must consider: @have_boot_console @have_nbcon_console @have_legacy_console @legacy_allow_panic_sync is_printk_preferred() and take into account the current CPU state: NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL NBCON_PRIO_EMERGENCY NBCON_PRIO_PANIC in order to decide if it should: flush nbcon directly via atomic_write() callback flush legacy directly via console_unlock flush legacy via offload to irq_work All of these call sites use their own logic to make this decision, which is complicated and error prone. Especially later when two more flush methods will be introduced: flush nbcon via offload to kthread flush legacy via offload to kthread Introduce a new internal struct console_flush_type that specifies which console flushing methods should be used in the context of the caller. Introduce a helper function to fill out console_flush_type to be used for flushing call sites. Replace the logic of all flushing call sites to use the new helper. This change standardizes behavior, leading to both fixes and optimizations across various call sites. For instance, in console_cpu_notify(), the new logic ensures that nbcon consoles are flushed when they aren’t managed by the legacy loop. Similarly, in console_flush_on_panic(), the system no longer needs to flush nbcon consoles if none are present.
