Subject: [PATCH v2 23/23] netoops: Add an interface to trigger various types of crashes.
Date: Mon, 08 Nov 2010 12:33:53 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101108203352.22479.15302.stgit@crlf.mtv.corp.google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101108203120.22479.19708.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 requires kmsg_dump() be accessible to modules, so export it.

Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com>

Changelog:
- v2
   - Folded EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(kmsg_dump) into this patch

TODO: User visible ABI needs a better interface
