Subject: [PATCH V3 1/3] sysfs: add attribute specification for /sysfs/devices/.../coredump
Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2018 09:36:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1515659799-23521-2-git-send-email-aspriel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1515659799-23521-1-git-send-email-aspriel@gmail.com>

This patch adds the specification for /sysfs/devices/.../coredump
which allows user-space to trigger a device coredump obtaining
binary data from the device for (fault) analysis. It relies on
CONFIG_DEV_COREDUMP being enabled.

+What:		/sys/devices/.../coredump
+Date:		December 2017
+Contact:	Arend van Spriel <aspriel@gmail.com>
+Description:
+		The /sys/devices/.../coredump attribute is only present when the
+		device is bound to a driver, which provides the .coredump()
+		callback. The attribute is write only. Anything written to this
+		file will trigger the .coredump() callback.
+
+		Available when CONFIG_DEV_COREDUMP is enabled.
