Maybe netconsole could be patched to support only dumping KERN_EMERG? But I guess the structured logging has some advantages, although there have been certainly oops parsers (e.g. kerneloops.org) without it. > * I am _NOT_ happy with the remaining userland ABIs presented in this > patchset.

We also dump it already on a standard oops. So why not just use that directly? As a general user ABI perhaps simply an unstructured string is better that is included in the packet. -Andi -- ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
