OK, I'll bite. 1) Where in the kernel will this actually get used? 2) Are there any matching patches for userspace tools like syslog to make it useful? 3) Was it intenional that you added this: +#define KERN_OOPS KERN_SOH "2" /* kernel oops condition */ instead of +#define KERN_OOPS KERN_CRIT 4) How does a syslog daemon distringuish between KERN_CRIT and KERN_OOPS? In other words - why do we need this patch? --==_Exmh_1369786271_1846P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iQIVAwUBUaVHnwdmEQWDXROgAQJubA/+POlYPXaRokBUEkjIo+VE4XFHQ5W8wQtb LZhkLkzuatdeGeryl1xXe2C3na8Ih6OoQmtAqrEk5LNAHpRs/fajJDchVwb2nqur he3LWnZUhD3dwvUYL06idIiMxvTaQHS6EMQeWIuVvcUQ20xnRk115buy9NCFnp7s /vrfQMS7NyY3J6fv70e2qKLWlUBzCRr/OvtfP+FiDXXU9pUPpDtEBdJ5XmEgXdRk TvLYHanQWJaIx6YXVZxJ/yZxuBpniQOa67D7AXX1P8TlYi9U0GiyM8erKWTu++GW QiBkz0rcMjvyUImQOq48E0jaEYSkCk3t95bybGsBq/xV6plH8p9UtU19vrGIO+PM q1CeH9MZqcMsBpE6YkQFysgV+/a5wbMkNqDipBd4ELsT4Hb0UcO5YEP3T8HD8CZz /6y4WbxPkmeJtbMdxQe6RjEXYtHOHHrhrcueoBAkNWjbgFe9PiH9EfMGbZFn3tqb 3Xio0JerWtEiompyDAtrVBCs/o/AuimdGMvCkdVjvjbzpHeLUNkXeWGEsizHlE/N Dm7L09SeDekfVh4UNfz9uavC12+PEWa4n/W8NqOwtoCQRgefZtZ0of8UvVr+BjdJ iSDM5g+DLT5nZYkCOA4Y+xAcB7/bFYnzRByCdpRJE1dxTKNqd+S/u3gaSKCBnhsW eCQSm5z2wOs= =rO9+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1369786271_1846P--
