Replace the individual @text_buf and @buf buffers in struct
devkmsg_user with a struct printk_buffers. This reduces the number
of buffers to keep track of. Also, since @text_buf is only used for
ringbuffer reading and @buf is only used for output, it maps
perfectly to the purpose and fields of struct printk_buffers.
As a side-effect, @text_buf was 8kB large, even though it only
needed to be the max size of a ringbuffer record. By switching to
struct printk_buffers, ~7kB less memory is allocated when opening
/dev/kmsg.
And since struct printk_buffers will be used now, reduce duplicate
code by calling printk_get_next_message() to handle the record
reading and formatting.

There is also no need for the printk_info and printk_record
structs. printk_get_next_message() uses its own on the stack.

This needs to be a while loop because printk_get_next_message() should
be the only function reading from the ringbuffer. The
wait_event_interruptible() in this loop should just wait for the
existence of the new record. It should not be the one reading it.
I will reply to this message with the correct patch to replace this
patch.

Replace the buffers in struct devkmsg_user with a struct
printk_buffers. This reduces the number of buffers to track.
As a side-effect, @text_buf was 8kB large, even though it only
needed to be the max size of a ringbuffer record. By switching to
struct printk_buffers, ~7kB less memory is allocated when opening
/dev/kmsg.
And since struct printk_buffers will be used now, reduce duplicate
code by calling printk_get_next_message() to handle the record
reading and formatting.

A problem is that printk_get_next_message() does not format the
message when it shoud get supressed on the console.
I would solve it be adding a parameter to printk_get_next_message() that
will tell whether to suppress or not, e.g. @can_suppress.

The above change from "if" to "while" could be avoided if we use
printk_get_next_message() here as well. It looks slightly more
strightfoward to me. Or do I miss something, please?

Otherwise, I like this change. It simplifies the code.

Nice catch. I missed that.

Yes, that is better. A loop is overkill here.
