* [MTD] mtdoops: Ensure sequential write to the bufferRichard Purdie2008-02-031-0/+28
| | | | | | | | Add a spinlock to ensure writes to the mtdoops buffer memory are sequential and don't race. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
* [MTD] mtdoops: Perform write operations in a workqueueRichard Purdie2008-02-031-40/+42
| | | | | | | | | Writing to the flash needs to be done in a workqueue. The console write functions may be called in any context which can lead to lockups otherwise. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

* [MTD] Add sync/unblank function to mtdoopsRichard Purdie2007-07-111-23/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | mtdoops wasn't ensuring data was flushed to flash in crash situations after recent changes in mainline kernels as tracking the oops_in_progress variable was no longer enough. We can use the "unblank" console call as a sync call to tell us to write out the buffer though. Therefore add a sync function to mtdoops and call this when console unblank events occur.

* [MTD] oops and panic message logging to MTD deviceRichard Purdie2007-06-281-0/+365
Kernel oops and panic messages are invaluable when debugging crashes. These messages often don't make it to flash based logging methods (say a syslog on jffs2) due to the overheads involved in writing to flash. This patch allows you to turn an MTD partition into a circular log buffer where kernel oops and panic messages are written to. The messages are obtained by registering a console driver and checking oops_in_progress. Erases are performed in advance to maximise the chances of a saving messages. To activate it, add console=ttyMTDx to the kernel commandline (where x is the mtd device number to use).
