Changes in v4: - Replace all rcu_read_lock with mutex - Move bif_oops_buf, max_compressed_size and pstore_dumper into pstore_info_list - add a helper to do "is this name in the list" and a helper to do "is this backend loaded" - make comments in pstore_(un)register clearer - return the max_seen ret or the first negative err in write_pmsg() - add a /sys/module entry for the list of backends, comma separated - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230928024244.257687-1-xiangzao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Changes in v3: - Fix ftrace.c build error - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240205122852.7069-1-xiangzao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Changes in v2: - pstore.backend no longer acts as "registered backend", but "backends eligible for registration". - drop subdir since it will break user space - drop tty frontend since I haven't yet devised a satisfactory implementation strategy - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230928024244.257687-1-xiangzao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Yuanhe Shu (4): pstore: add multi-backend support pstore: add a /sys/module entry for loaded backends Documentation: adjust pstore backend related document tools/testing: adjust pstore backend related selftest Documentation/ABI/testing/pstore | 8 +- .../admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt | 4 +- fs/pstore/ftrace.c | 27 +- fs/pstore/inode.c | 57 +++- fs/pstore/internal.h | 5 +- fs/pstore/platform.c | 274 ++++++++++++------ fs/pstore/pmsg.c | 27 +- include/linux/pstore.h | 23 ++ tools/testing/selftests/pstore/common_tests | 8 +- .../selftests/pstore/pstore_post_reboot_tests | 67 +++-- tools/testing/selftests/pstore/pstore_tests | 2 +- 11 files changed, 358 insertions(+), 144 deletions(-) -- 2.39.3
