[PATCH] printk: Add a short description string to kmsg_dump()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



kmsg_dump doesn't forward the panic reason string to the kmsg_dumper
callback.
This patch adds a new parameter "const char *desc" to the kmsg_dumper
dump() callback, and update all drivers that are using it.

To avoid updating all kmsg_dump() call, it adds a kmsg_dump_desc()
function and a macro for backward compatibility.

I've written this for drm_panic, but it can be useful for other
kmsg_dumper.
It allows to see the panic reason, like "sysrq triggered crash"
or "VFS: Unable to mount root fs on xxxx" on the drm panic screen.
