[PATCH 0/2] Handle NBCON consoles on KDB

Posted by Marcos Paulo de Souza 2 months, 3 weeks ago

After the proposed patches [1], it was suggested to start using
console_is_usable instead of checking if that console is enabled. It was
noticies that KDB was always calling con->write method, but this
callback is not usable for NBCON consoles.

As a first step into making console_is_usable public, I prepared these
two patches that makes public some nbcon functions, and also fixes the
KDB to also handle NBCON consoles.

Thanks to all reviewers of the patches posted on [1]! I hope this is the
first step into implementing all the changes suggested in that patchset.
