Add a sys interface to allow querying the memory reserved by fadump for saving the crash dump. Add an ABI doc entry for new sysfs interface. - /sys/kernel/fadump_mem_reserved Signed-off-by: Sourabh Jain <redacted> --- Changelog: v1 -> v2: - Added ABI doc for new sysfs interface. v2 -> v3: - Updated the ABI documentation. --- Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-fadump | 6 ++++++Shouldn't this be Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-fadump_mem_reserved?How about documenting fadump_mem_reserved and other sysfs attributes suggested by you in a single file Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-fadump?I wouldn't mind that but please do check if it is breaking a convention..AIUI a file named like that would hold the documentation for the files inside a directory called /sys/kernel/fadump. And in fact that's probably where these files should live, rather than just dropped directly into /sys/kernel.Michael, could that be corrected now by introducing new sysfs files for FADump in /sys/kernel/fadump/. Also, duplicating current /sys/kernel/fadump_* files as /sys/kernel/fadump/* files & eventually dropping /sys/kernel/fadump_* files sometime later..
Sent a patch series that adds fadump_mem_reserved sysfs file along with reorganizing the existing fadump sysfs files. Patch series available here: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2019-September/197100.html - Sourabh Jain
