      iwlwifi: mvm: send udev event upon firmware error to dump logs · 1bd3cbc1
      Emmanuel Grumbach authored
      When the firmware asserts, the driver will dump the firmware
      state to an internal buffer. This buffer is kept aside until
      it is dumped through debugfs. Once an external application
      fetched the data, the buffer is freed and a new buffer can
      be allocated in case another assert occurs.
      
      A udev event is sent to trigger an external application.
      
      A simple rule like:
      DRIVER=="iwlwifi", ACTION=="change", RUN+="/sbin/dump_sram.sh"
      
      can fetch the data from debugfs.
      
      Here is my dump_sram.sh:
      
      phyname=$(basename ${DEVPATH})
      date=$(date +%F_%H_%M)
      filename=/var/log/iwl-sram-${phyname}-${date}.bin
      cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/${phyname}/iwlwifi/iwlmvm/fw_error_dump > ${filename}
      
      The current SRAM size is 80KB so, currently:
      $ ls -lh iwl-sram-phy0-2014-03-16_13_14.bin
      -rw-r--r-- 1 emmanuel emmanuel 81K Mar 16 13:15 iwl-sram-phy0-2014-03-16_13_14.bin
      
      and after compression:
      $ ls -lh iwl-sram-phy0-2014-03-16_13_14.bin.xz
      -rw-r--r-- 1 emmanuel emmanuel 13K Mar 16 13:15 iwl-sram-phy0-2014-03-16_13_14.bin.xz
