SubjectRE: [RFC][PATCH 2/2] write callback: Check if existing entry is erasable

I see. I understand your argument right now.

My patch is on assumption that efi_pstore can handle just one log.
But if it can handle multiple logs, we can solve my concern simply.

Default value of pstore.kmsg_byte is 10KB.
I think efi_pstore can log 60KB(= 10KB X 6)...

Original code is developed by Matthew and he is EFI expert.
So, I have to ask Matthew why current write callback simply erases old entries.

Matthew,

Do you think efI_pstore should handle just one log? Or do you think latest message is most important?
