Hello, This is another iteration of the virtio-pstore work. In this patchset I addressed most of feedbacks from previous version and drooped the support for PSTORE_TYPE_CONSOLE for simplicity. It'll be added once the basic implementation * changes in v3) - use QIOChannel API (Stefan, Daniel) - add bound check for malcious guests (Daniel) - drop support PSTORE_TYPE_CONSOLE for now

Limiting disk size is not implemented yet. * changes in v2) - update VIRTIO_ID_PSTORE to 22 (Cornelia, Stefan) - make buffer size configurable (Cornelia) - support PSTORE_TYPE_CONSOLE (Kees) - use separate virtqueues for read and write - support concurrent async

Hello, This patchset is a proof of concept of virtio-pstore idea [1]. It has some rough edges and I'm not familiar with this area, so please give me feedbacks and advices if I'm going to a wrong direction. It started from the fact that dumping ftrace buffer at kernel oops/panic takes too much time. Although there's a way to reduce the size of the original data, sometimes I want to

The virtio pstore driver provides interface to the pstore subsystem so that the guest kernel's log/dump message can be saved on the host machine. Users can access the log file directly on the host, or on the guest at the next boot using pstore filesystem. It currently deals with kernel log (printk) buffer only, but we can extend it to have other information (like ftrace dump) later. It

Add virtio pstore device to allow kernel log files saved on the host. It will save the log files on the directory given by pstore device option. $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-pstore,directory=dir-xx ... (guest) # echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger $ ls dir-xx dmesg-1.enc.z dmesg-2.enc.z The log files are usually compressed using zlib. Users can see the log messages directly on the
