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.
