[lkcd-devel] polling diskdump

[Abbas, M. <moh...@in...>]

I am now porting lkdump for LKCD project. Lkdump dump the crash to a
dump partition that was set aside for it. This partition can not be
shared by other like swap. Should I keep the same behavior for LKCD or
changed to follow LKCD using swap partition? Lkdump for safety write
signatures over the complete dump partition.  When a panic occurs, the
diskdump module reads the whole dump partition, and checks if the
signatures are written correctly. If the signatures match, the diskdump
presumes that it will be writing to the correct device.
Thanks
