Subject: [PATCH 05/18] pstore: Add kernel-doc for struct pstore_info
Date: Mon,  6 Mar 2017 13:55:19 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1488837332-71582-6-git-send-email-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1488837332-71582-1-git-send-email-keescook@chromium.org>

This adds documentation for struct pstore_info, which also includes
the basic API the backends need to implement.

+ * struct pstore_info - backend pstore driver structure
+ *
+ * @owner:	module which is repsonsible for this backend driver
+ * @name:	name of the backend driver
+ *
+ * @buf_lock:	spinlock to serialize access to @buf
+ * @buf:	preallocated crash dump buffer
+ * @bufsize:	size of @buf available for crash dump writes
+ *
+ * @read_mutex:	mutex to serialize @open, @read, and @close callbacks
+ * @flags:	bitfield of frontends the backend can accept writes for
+ * @data:	backend-private pointer passed back during callbacks
+ *
+ * Callbacks:
+ *
+ * @open:
+ *	Notify backend that pstore is starting a full read of backend
+ *	records. Followed by one or more @read calls, and a final @close.
+ *
+ *	@psi:	in: pointer to the struct pstore_info for the backend
+ *
+ *	Returns 0 on success, and non-zero on error.
+ *
+ * @close:
+ *	Notify backend that pstore has finished a full read of backend
+ *	records. Always preceded by an @open call and one or more @read
+ *	calls.
+ *
+ *	@psi:	in: pointer to the struct pstore_info for the backend
+ *
+ *	Returns 0 on success, and non-zero on error. (Though pstore will
+ *	ignore the error.)
+ *
+ * @read:
+ *	Read next available backend record. Called after a successful
+ *	@open.
+ *
+ *	@id:	out: unique identifier for the record
+ *	@type:	out: pstore record type
+ *	@count: out: for PSTORE_TYPE_DMESG, the Oops count.
+ *	@time:	out: timestamp for the record
+ *	@buf:	out: kmalloc copy of record contents, to be freed by pstore
+ *	@compressed:
+ *		out: if the record contents are compressed
+ *	@ecc_notice_size:
+ *		out: ECC information
+ *	@psi:	in: pointer to the struct pstore_info for the backend
+ *
+ *	Returns record size on success, zero when no more records are
+ *	available, or negative on error.
+ *
+ * @write:
+ *	Perform a frontend notification of a write to a backend record. The
+ *	data to be stored has already been written to the registered @buf
+ *	of the @psi structure.
+ *
+ *	@type:	in: pstore record type to write
+ *	@reason:
+ *		in: pstore write reason
+ *	@id:	out: unique identifier for the record
+ *	@part:	in: position in a multipart write
+ *	@count:	in: increasing from 0 since boot, the number of this Oops
+ *	@compressed:
+ *		in: if the record is compressed
+ *	@size:	in: size of the write
+ *	@psi:	in: pointer to the struct pstore_info for the backend
+ *
+ *	Returns 0 on success, and non-zero on error.
+ *
+ * @write_buf:
+ *	Perform a frontend write to a backend record, using a specified
+ *	buffer. Unlike @write, this does not use the @psi @buf.
+ *
+ *	@type:	in: pstore record type to write
+ *	@reason:
+ *		in: pstore write reason
+ *	@id:	out: unique identifier for the record

+ *	@psi:	in: pointer to the struct pstore_info for the backend
+ *
+ *	Returns 0 on success, and non-zero on error.
+ *
+ * @write_buf_user:
+ *	Perform a frontend write to a backend record, using a specified
+ *	buffer that is coming directly from userspace.
+ *
+ *	@type:	in: pstore record type to write
+ *	@reason:
+ *		in: pstore write reason
