Convert netconsole from the legacy console API to the NBCON framework.
NBCON provides threaded printing which unblocks printk()s and flushes in
a thread, decoupling network TX from printk() when netconsole is
in use.
Since netconsole relies on the network stack which cannot safely operate
from all atomic contexts, mark both consoles with
CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE. (See discussion in [1])
CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE restricts write_atomic() usage to emergency
scenarios (panic) where regular messages are sent in threaded mode.
Implementation changes:
- Unify write_ext_msg() and write_msg() into netconsole_write()
- Add device_lock/device_unlock callbacks to manage target_list_lock
- Use nbcon_enter_unsafe()/nbcon_exit_unsafe() around network
operations.
- If nbcon_enter_unsafe() fails, just return given netconsole lost
the ownership of the console.
- Set write_thread and write_atomic callbacks (both use same function)

Attempt to resume a previously deactivated target when the associated
interface comes back (NETDEV_REGISTER) or when it changes name
(NETDEV_CHANGENAME) by calling netpoll_setup on the device.
Depending on how the target was setup (by mac or interface name), the
corresponding field is compared with the device being brought up. Targets
that match the incoming device, are scheduled for resume on a workqueue.
Resuming happens on a workqueue as we can't execute netpoll_setup in the
context of the netdev event. A standalone workqueue (as opposed to the
global one) is used to allow for proper cleanup process during
netconsole module cleanup as we need to be able to flush all pending
work before traversing the target list given that targets are temporarily
removed from the list during resume_target.
Target transitions to STATE_DISABLED in case of failures resuming it to
avoid retrying the same target indefinitely.

using a new STATE_DEACTIVATED state. This allows netconsole to distinguish

It also enables automatic recovery and re-enabling of targets if the

From a code perspective, anything that is not STATE_ENABLED is disabled.
Devices (de)enslaving are marked STATE_DISABLED to prevent automatically

Increase MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS from 16 to 256 entries now that the userdata
buffer is allocated dynamically.
The previous limit of 16 was necessary because the buffer was statically
allocated for all targets. With dynamic allocation, we can support more
entries without wasting memory on targets that don't use userdata.
This allows users to attach more metadata to their netconsole messages,
which is useful for complex debugging and logging scenarios.

Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
The userdata buffer in struct netconsole_target is currently statically
allocated with a size of MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS * MAX_EXTRADATA_ENTRY_LEN
(16 * 256 = 4096 bytes). This wastes memory when userdata entries are
not used or when only a few entries are configured, which is common in
typical usage scenarios. It also forces us to keep MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS
small to limit the memory wasted.
Change the userdata buffer from a static array to a dynamically
allocated pointer. The buffer is now allocated on-demand in
update_userdata() whenever userdata entries are added, modified, or
removed via configfs. The implementation calculates the exact size
needed for all current userdata entries, allocates a new buffer of that
size, formats the entries into it, and atomically swaps it with the old
buffer.
This approach provides several benefits:
- Memory efficiency: Targets with no userdata use zero bytes instead of
4KB, and targets with userdata only allocate what they need;
- Scalability: Makes it practical to increase MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS to a
much larger value without imposing a fixed memory cost on every
target;
- No hot-path overhead: Allocation occurs during configuration (write to
configfs), not during message transmission
If memory allocation fails during userdata update, -ENOMEM is returned
to userspace through the configfs attribute write operation.
The sysdata buffer remains statically allocated since it has a smaller
fixed size (MAX_SYSDATA_ITEMS * MAX_EXTRADATA_ENTRY_LEN = 4 * 256 = 1024
bytes) and its content length is less predictable.

Separate userdata and sysdata into distinct buffers to enable independent

buffer with a fixed size that accommodated both types of data.
This separation allows:
- userdata to grow dynamically (in subsequent patch)
- sysdata to remain in a small static buffer
- removal of complex entry counting logic that tracked both types together
The split also simplifies the code by eliminating the need to check total
entry count across both userdata and sysdata when enabling features,
which allows to drop holding su_mutex on sysdata_*_enabled_store().
No functional change in this patch, just structural preparation for

There is a race between operations that iterate over the userdata
cg_children list and concurrent add/remove of userdata items through
configfs. The update_userdata() function iterates over the
nt->userdata_group.cg_children list, and count_extradata_entries() also
iterates over this same list to count nodes.
Quoting from Documentation/filesystems/configfs.rst:
> A subsystem can navigate the cg_children list and the ci_parent pointer
> to see the tree created by the subsystem. This can race with configfs'
> management of the hierarchy, so configfs uses the subsystem mutex to
> protect modifications. Whenever a subsystem wants to navigate the
> hierarchy, it must do so under the protection of the subsystem
> mutex.
Without proper locking, if a userdata item is added or removed
concurrently while these functions are iterating, the list can be
accessed in an inconsistent state. For example, the list_for_each() loop
can reach a node that is being removed from the list by list_del_init()
which sets the nodes' .next pointer to point to itself, so the loop will
never end (or reach the WARN_ON_ONCE in update_userdata() ).
Fix this by holding the configfs subsystem mutex (su_mutex) during all
operations that iterate over cg_children.
This includes:
- userdatum_value_store() which calls update_userdata() to iterate over
cg_children
- All sysdata_*_enabled_store() functions which call
count_extradata_entries() to iterate over cg_children
The su_mutex must be acquired before dynamic_netconsole_mutex to avoid
potential lock ordering issues, as configfs operations may already hold
su_mutex when calling into our code.

The update_userdata() function constructs the complete userdata string
in nt->extradata_complete and updates nt->userdata_length. This data
is then read by write_msg() and write_ext_msg() when sending netconsole
messages. However, update_userdata() was not holding target_list_lock
during this process, allowing concurrent message transmission to read
partially updated userdata.
This race condition could result in netconsole messages containing
incomplete or inconsistent userdata - for example, reading the old
userdata_length with new extradata_complete content, or vice versa,
leading to truncated or corrupted output.
Fix this by acquiring target_list_lock with spin_lock_irqsave() before
updating extradata_complete and userdata_length, and releasing it after
both fields are fully updated. This ensures that readers see a
consistent view of the userdata, preventing corruption during concurrent
access.
The fix aligns with the existing locking pattern used throughout the
netconsole code, where target_list_lock protects access to target
fields including buf[] and msgcounter that are accessed during message
transmission.
Also get rid of the unnecessary variable complete_idx, which makes it
easier to bail out of update_userdata().

part of sysdata, allowing targets to detect dropped netconsole messages.
Update count_extradata_entries() to take the new field into account.

Rename netpoll_parse_options() to netconsole_parser_cmdline() and
netpoll_print_options() to netconsole_print_banner() to better
describe what these functions actually do within the netconsole
context.
Also fix minor code style issues including variable declaration
ordering and spacing.
These functions are specific to netconsole functionality rather
than general netpoll operations, so the new names better reflect
their actual purpose.

Move netpoll_print_options() from net/core/netpoll.c to
drivers/net/netconsole.c and make it static. This function is only used
by netconsole, so there's no need to export it or keep it in the public
netpoll API.
This reduces the netpoll API surface and improves code locality
by keeping netconsole-specific functionality within the netconsole
driver.

Move netpoll_parse_ip_addr() and netpoll_parse_options() from the generic
netpoll module to the netconsole module where they are actually used.
These functions were originally placed in netpoll but are only consumed by
netconsole. This refactoring improves code organization by:
- Removing unnecessary exported symbols from netpoll
- Making netpoll_parse_options() static (no longer needs global visibility)
- Reducing coupling between netpoll and netconsole modules
The functions remain functionally identical - this is purely a code
reorganization to better reflect their actual usage patterns. Here are
the changes:
1) Move both functions from netpoll to netconsole
2) Add static to netpoll_parse_options()
3) Removed the EXPORT_SYMBOL()
PS: This diff does not change the function format, so, it is easy to
review, but, checkpatch will not be happy. A follow-up patch will
address the current issues reported by checkpatch.

Before appending sysdata, prepare_extradata() checks if any feature is
enabled in sysdata_fields (and exits early if none is enabled).
When SYSDATA_RELEASE was introduced, we missed adding it to the list of
features being checked against sysdata_fields in prepare_extradata().
The result was that, if only SYSDATA_RELEASE is enabled in
sysdata_fields, we incorreclty exit early and fail to append the
release.
Instead of checking specific bits in sysdata_fields, check if
sysdata_fields has ALL bit zeroed and exit early if true. This fixes
case when only SYSDATA_RELEASE enabled and makes the code more general /
less error prone in future feature implementation.

Add unregister_netcons_consoles() function to automatically unregister
console handlers when no targets of the corresponding type remain active.
The function iterates through the target list to determine which console
types (basic vs extended) are still needed, and unregisters any console
handlers that are no longer required. This prevents having registered
console handlers without corresponding active targets.
The function is called when a target is disabled and moved to the cleanup
list, ensuring proper cleanup of unused console registrations.

The netconsole driver currently registers the basic console driver
unconditionally during initialization, even when only extended targets
are configured. This results in unnecessary console registration and
performance overhead, as the write_msg() callback is invoked for every
log message only to return early when no matching targets are found.
Optimize the driver by conditionally registering console drivers based
on the actual target configuration. The basic console driver is now
registered only when non-extended targets exist, same as the extended
console. The implementation also handles dynamic target creation through
the configfs interface.
This change eliminates unnecessary console driver registrations,
redundant write_msg() callbacks for unused console types, and associated
lock contention and target list iterations. The optimization is
particularly beneficial for systems using only the most common extended
console type.

This is the core patch for this whole patchset. Add support for
including the current task's name in netconsole's extra data output.
This adds a new append_taskname() function that writes the task name
(from current->comm) into the target's extradata buffer, similar to how
CPU numbers are handled.
The task name is included when the SYSDATA_TASKNAME field is set,
appearing in the format "taskname=<name>" in the output. This additional
context can help with debugging by showing which task generated each
console message.

Add infrastructure to automatically append kernel-generated data (sysdata)
to netconsole messages. As the first use case, implement CPU number
population, which adds the CPU that sent the message.
This change introduces three distinct data types:
- extradata: The complete set of appended data (sysdata + userdata)
- userdata: User-provided key-value pairs from userspace
- sysdata: Kernel-populated data (e.g. cpu=XX)
The implementation adds a new configfs attribute 'cpu_nr' to control CPU
number population per target. When enabled, each message is tagged with
its originating CPU. The sysdata is dynamically updated at message time
and appended after any existing userdata.
The CPU number is formatted as "cpu=XX" and is added to the extradata
buffer, respecting the existing size limits.
