It is a useful to be able to exercise kmsg_dumper implementations without requiring a kernel oops or panic. This commit adds a new reason called KMSG_DUMP_SOFT, which signifies that the system isn't really going down. This logic is used in a later commit that introduces the netoops driver. Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison <redacted> --- It is also possible that we not introduce KMSG_DUMP_SOFT, and simply overload the existing KMSG_DUMP_OOPS reason, but I figured that this would be cleaner. TODO: Make sure mtdoops and ramoops do something useful with this flag? --- include/linux/kmsg_dump.h | 1 + 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
