The patch looks right. I will clean it up. Does the issue still persist

Things seem to be working - but testing has hardly been extensive (just
a couple of forced panics).

I do have one other question. In this code:

quoted

                 if (compressed && (type == PSTORE_TYPE_DMESG)) {
                         big_buf_sz = (psinfo->bufsize * 100) / 45;

Where does the magic multiply by 1.45 come from?  Is that always enough
for the decompression of "dmesg" type data to succeed?
