Life is simple for all the kernel terminating types of kmsg_dump call backs - pstore just saves the tail end of the console log. But for "oops" the situation is more complex - the kernel may carry on running (possibly for ever). So we'd like to make the logged copy of the oops appear in the pstore filesystem - so that the user has a handle to clear the entry from the persistent backing store (if we don't, the store may fill with "oops" entries (that are also safely stashed in /var/log/messages) leaving no space for real errors. Current code calls pstore_mkfile() immediately. But this may not be safe. The oops could have happened with arbitrary locks held, or in interrupt or NMI context. So allocating memory and calling into generic filesystem code seems unwise. This patch defers making the entry appear. At the time of the oops, we merely set a flag "pstore_new_entry" noting that a new entry has been added. A periodic timer checks once a minute to see if the flag is set - if so, it schedules a work queue to rescan the backing store and make all new entries appear in the pstore filesystem.
