2011-07-22pstore: Make "part" unsignedMatthew Garrett
We'll never have a negative part, so just make this an unsigned int. Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2011-07-22pstore: Add extra context for writes and erasesMatthew Garrett
EFI only provides small amounts of individual storage, and conventionally puts metadata in the storage variable name. Rather than add a metadata header to the (already limited) variable storage, it's easier for us to modify pstore to pass all the information we need to construct a unique variable name to the appropriate functions.

2011-07-22pstore: Extend API for more flexibility in new backendsMatthew Garrett
Some pstore implementations may not have a static context, so extend the API to pass the pstore_info struct to all calls and allow for a context pointer. Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2011-05-16pstore: fix pstore filesystem mount/remount issueChen Gong
Currently after mount/remount operation on pstore filesystem, the content on pstore will be lost. It is because current ERST implementation doesn't support multi-user usage, which moves internal pointer to the end after accessing it. Adding multi-user support for pstore usage.

2011-05-16pstore: fix one type of return value in pstoreChen Gong
the return type of function _read_ in pstore is size_t, but in the callback function of _read_, the logic doesn't consider it too much, which means if negative value (assuming error here) is returned, it will be converted to positive because of type casting. ssize_t is enough for this function.

2010-12-28pstore: new filesystem interface to platform persistent storageTony Luck
Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of a system crash. This is the generic part of a file system interface that presents information from the crash as a series of files in /dev/pstore. Once the information has been seen, the underlying storage is freed by deleting the files. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
