Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 6/8] netconsole: add task name to extra data fields
Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2025 04:50:22 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250228-netcons_current-v2-6-f53ff79a0db2@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250228-netcons_current-v2-0-f53ff79a0db2@debian.org>

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.
