[PATCH net-next 1/2] fs/crashdd: add API to collect hardware dump in second kernel

Fri Mar 23 01:31:00 PDT 2018


Add a new module crashdd that exports the /sys/kernel/crashdd/
directory in second kernel, containing collected hardware/firmware
dumps.

The sequence of actions done by device drivers to append their device
specific hardware/firmware logs to /sys/kernel/crashdd/ directory are
as follows:

1. During probe (before hardware is initialized), device drivers
register to the crashdd module (via crashdd_add_dump()), with
callback function, along with buffer size and log name needed for
firmware/hardware log collection.

2. Crashdd creates a driver's directory under
/sys/kernel/crashdd/<driver>. Then, it allocates the buffer with
requested size and invokes the device driver's registered callback
function.

3. Device driver collects all hardware/firmware logs into the buffer
and returns control back to crashdd.

4. Crashdd exposes the buffer as a binary file via
/sys/kernel/crashdd/<driver>/<dump_file>.

Changes since rfc v2:
- Moved exporting crashdd from procfs to sysfs.  Suggested by
  Stephen Hemminger <stephen at networkplumber.org>
- Moved code from fs/proc/crashdd.c to fs/crashdd/ directory.
- Replaced all proc API with sysfs API and updated comments.
- Calling driver callback before creating the binary file under
  crashdd sysfs.
- Changed binary dump file permission from S_IRUSR to S_IRUGO.
- Changed module name from CRASH_DRIVER_DUMP to CRASH_DEVICE_DUMP.

rfc v2:
- Collecting logs in 2nd kernel instead of during kernel panic.
  Suggested by Eric Biederman <ebiederm at xmission.com>.
- Patch added in this series.
