[PATCH/RFC v5 5/5]: mtdoops: refactor as a dump_device

Simon Kagstrom simon.kagstrom at netinsight.net
Tue Oct 13 09:22:46 EDT 2009


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

It registers handlers for both oopses and panics. On oopses, the 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 to toggle wheter to dump oopses or only panics (since oopses
can often be handled by regular syslog).
