[PATCH net-next v2 6/8] net: netconsole: cache userdata formatted string in netconsole_target

From: Matthew Wood
Date: Fri Jan 26 2024 - 18:15:54 EST


Store a formatted string for userdata that will be appended to netconsole
messages. The string has a capacity of 4KB, as calculated by the userdatum
entry length of 256 bytes and a max of 16 userdata entries.

Update the stored netconsole_target->userdata_complete string with the new
formatted userdata values when a userdatum is created, edited, or
removed. Each userdata entry contains a trailing newline, which will be
formatted as such in netconsole messages::

6.7.0-rc8-virtme,12,500,1646292204,-;test
release=foo
something=bar
6.7.0-rc8-virtme,12,500,1646292204,-;another test
release=foo
something=bar

Enforcement of MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS is done in userdatum_make_item;
update_userdata will not check for this case but will skip any userdata
children over the limit of MAX_USERDATA_ITEMs.

If a userdata entry/dir is created but no value is provided, that entry
will be skipped. This is in part because update_userdata() can't be
called in userdatum_make_item() since the item will not have been added
to the userdata config_group children yet. To preserve the experience of
adding an empty userdata that doesn't show up in the netconsole
messages, purposefully skip emtpy userdata items even when
update_userdata() can be called.
