Subject[PATCH] pstore/ram: fix for adding dumps to non-empty zone
Date
From: Aleksandr Yashkin <a.yashkin@inango-systems.com>

The circle buffer in ramoops zones has a problem for adding a new
oops dump to already an existing one.

The solution to this problem is to reset the circle buffer state before
writing a new oops dump.
