[PATCH] ieee1394 : dump mmapped video1394 buffers in core files

From: Philippe De Muyter
Date: Thu Jul 03 2008 - 12:52:44 EST


Currently, core files do not contain the mmapped memory of the video1394
or dv1394 devices, which contain the actual video input, making it
impossible to analyse the cause of abnormal program termination for
image analysis or (de)compression software. Fix that.
