[PATCH v6 5/5]: mtdoops: refactor as a kmsg_dumper

Simon Kagstrom
2009-10-14T13:41:34Z

The last messages which happens before a crash might contain interesting
information about the crash. This patch reworks mtdoops using the
kmsg_dumper support instead of a console, which simplifies the code and
also includes the messages before the oops started.

On oops callbacks, the MTD device write is scheduled in a work queue (to
be able to use the regular mtd->write call), while panics call
mtd->panic_write directly. Thus, if panic_on_oops is set, the oops will
be written out during the panic.

A parameter to specify which mtd device to use (number or name), as well
as a flag, writable at runtime, to toggle wheter to dump oopses or only
panics (since oopses can often be handled by regular syslog).

ChangeLog:
Review comments from Anders Grafström and myself:
* Fix mtddev and dump_oops parameter permissions (dump_oops is
now runtime-settable)
* Style cleanup here and there
* Add a MTDOOPS_HEADER_SIZE define instead of hardcoding the size
* Fix a double-free on unregistration
* Rework the patch according to patch 4
* Fix output problems for some conditions
