| |
From: Hiraku Toyooka <hiraku.toyooka.gu@hitachi.com>
This enables pmsg to deal with multiple instances. One possible use is content priority control on limited persistent store space. By using different buffers, we can prevent important messages from being overwritten by less important messages.
When pstore backend module specifies the number of instances (num_pmsg) in pstore_info, multiple /dev/pmsg[ID] appear. (ID is an integer starting at 0. It corresponds to minor number of the each char device.) Writes to each /dev/pmsg[ID] are isolated each other. After reboot, the contents are available in /sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-[backend]-[ID].
