Hi Satyam, > From: Satyam Sharma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > [8/9] netconsole: Support multiple logging targets > > This patch introduces support for multiple targets: > > Let's keep this out of CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC as well -- this is useful > even in the default case and (including the infrastructure introduced in > previous patches) doesn't really add too many bytes to module text. All the > complexity (and size) comes with the dynamic reconfigurability / userspace > interface patch, and so it's plausible users may want to keep this enabled > but that disabled (say to avoid a dep on CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS too). > > Also update documentation to mention the use of ";" separator to specify > multiple logging targets in the boot/module option string. > > Brief overview: > > We maintain a target_list (and corresponding lock). Get rid of the static > "default_target" and introduce allocation and release functions for our > netconsole_target objects (but keeping sure to preserve previous behaviour > such as default values). During init_netconsole(), ";" is used as the > separator to identify multiple target specifications in the boot/module > option string. The target specifications are parsed and netpolls setup. > During exit, the target_list is torn down and all items released. > > Signed-off-by: Satyam Sharma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: Keiichi Kii <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Signed-off-by: Keiichi Kii <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
