You don't think two different IRQs can fire on two different CPUs at the 
same time (or close to)? It's already bad enough when multiple CPUs 
panic and one has to pick apart line-by-line interleaving of the 
registers/stacktraces - imagine how much more utterly unusable that 
would be with bits of different dumps randomly pr_cont'ed together onto 
the same line(s)...

Even when unrelated stuff gets interleaved because other CPUs just 
happen to be calling printk() at the same time for unrelated reasons 
it's still annoying, and pr_cont makes a bigger mess than not.

Yeah, I'd have no complaint with pr_debug/dev_dbg either, if that suits 
your use case. True that the ratelimit may typically mitigate the 
overall impact, but still in the worst case with a sufficiently slow 
console and/or a sufficiently large amount to print per __ratelimit() 
call, it can end up being slow enough to stay below the threshold. Don't 
ask me how I know that :)

Thanks,
Robin.
