Subject: [PATCH 5/8] pstore: Improve and update some comments and status output
Date: Thu,  1 Nov 2018 16:51:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181101235200.28584-6-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181101235200.28584-1-keescook@chromium.org>

This improves and updates some comments:
 - dump handler comment out of sync from calling convention
 - fix kern-doc typo

and improves status output:
 - reminder that only kernel crash dumps are compressed
 - do not be silent about ECC infrastructure failures
