Subject: [PATCH v1 09/12] netoops: Add an interface to trigger various types of crashes.
Date: Tue, 02 Nov 2010 18:30:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101103013018.4641.251.stgit@crlf.mtv.corp.google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101103012917.4641.57113.stgit@crlf.mtv.corp.google.com>
It is very useful to be able to test the crash path, but in order to do so, we
need to expose various ways to crash the kernel in a deterministic fashion.
This commit adds a file, /proc/sys/kernel/net_dump_now that takes various
tokens that will crash the kernel in various ways.

This trigger is probably better done using an ABI that is much more generic.
It could perhaps be an extension of /proc/sysrq-trigger, though it would be
nice to have the 'types' of crashes enumerated in a programmable manner somehow
to know if they are available or not.
