Sure, but an abort function can be provided to the kernel anyway and the driver can care about that.Ok, how?I think just a sysctl ontop of this series is enough plus a pr_warn. Rocker and mlxsw are responsible to loop for a maximum amount of time.Maybe, when the module requests a dump it can also provide a callback that is invoked following each failed dump?
That would make sense. Thanks.
