Breno Leitao says: ==================== net: netconsole: configfs entries for boot target There is a limitation in netconsole, where it is impossible to disable or modify the target created from the command line parameter. (netconsole=...). "netconsole" cmdline parameter sets the remote IP, and if the remote IP changes, the machine needs to be rebooted (with the new remote IP set in the command line parameter). This allows the user to modify a target without the need to restart the machine. This functionality sits on top of the dynamic target reconfiguration that is already implemented in netconsole. The way to modify a boot time target is creating special named configfs directories, that will be associated with the targets coming from `netconsole=...`. Example: Let's suppose you have two netconsole targets defined at boot time:: netconsole=4444@10.0.0.1/eth1,9353@10.0.0.2/12:34:56:78:9a:bc;4444@10.0.0.1/eth1,9353@10.0.0.3/12:34:56:78:9a:bc You can modify these targets in runtime by creating the following targets:: $ mkdir cmdline1 $ cat cmdline1/remote_ip 10.0.0.3 $ echo 0 > cmdline1/enabled $ echo 10.0.0.4 > cmdline1/remote_ip $ echo 1 > cmdline1/enabled ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231012111401.333798-1-leitao@debian.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
