From: Lenny Szubowicz Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2013 20:14:10 +0000 (-0400) Subject: acpi: Eliminate console msg if pstore.backend excludes ERST X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~4805^2~1 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=74fd6c6f84b6d3e57bacb06161451c29949fbe51;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git acpi: Eliminate console msg if pstore.backend excludes ERST This is patch 2/3 of a patch set that avoids what misleadingly appears to be a error during boot: ERST: Could not register with persistent store This message is displayed if the system has a valid ACPI ERST table and the pstore.backend kernel parameter has been used to disable use of ERST by pstore. But this same message is used for errors that preclude registration. In erst_init don't complain if the setting of kernel parameter pstore.backend precludes use of ACPI ERST for pstore. Routine pstore_register will inform about the facility that does register. Also, don't leave a dangling pointer to deallocated mem for the pstore buffer when registration fails.
