[PATCH 4.19 100/105] pstore: Allocate compression during late_initcall()

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

 



From: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 416031653eb55f844e3547fb8f8576399a800da0 upstream.

ramoops's call of pstore_register() was recently moved to run during
late_initcall() because the crypto backend may not have been ready during
postcore_initcall(). This meant early-boot crash dumps were not getting
caught by pstore any more.

Instead, lets allow calls to pstore_register() earlier, and once crypto
is ready we can initialize the compression.
