[ Upstream commit 30696378f68a9e3dad6bfe55938b112e72af00c2 ] The ramoops backend currently calls persistent_ram_save_old() even if a buffer is empty. While this appears to work, it is does not seem like the right thing to do and could lead to future bugs so lets avoid that. It also prevents misleading prints in the logs which claim the buffer is valid. I got something like: found existing buffer, size 0, start 0 When I was expecting: no valid data in buffer (sig = ...) This bails out early (and reports with pr_debug()), since it's an acceptable state.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
