![]() Add a kernel parameter to be able to specify the number of pages to be used as output buffer by the line-mode sclp driver and the vt220 sclp driver. The current number of output pages is 6, if the service element is unavailable the boot messages alone can fill up the output buffer. If this happens the system blocks until the service element is working again. For a large LPAR with many devices it is sensible to have the ability to increase the output buffer size. To help to debug this situation add a counter for the page-pool-empty situation and make it available as a sclp driver attribute. To avoid the system to stall until the service element works again add another kernel parameter to allow to drop output buffers. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> |
