It uses pstore/blk, and aims to store panic and oops logs to a flash partition, where pstore can later read back and present as files in the mounted pstore filesystem.

MTD should provide read/write/erase operations, and allow a higher level drivers to provide the chunk management, kmsg dump configuration, etc. - Missing features: pstore provides many additional features, including presenting the logs as files, logging d...
