I'd like to keep blkoops as close to ramoops as possible on the user
configuration side. Notes below...

By non-block do you mean nvme etc? What is the right term for spinning
disk and nvme collectively? (I always considered them all to be "block"
devices.)

I'd like to maintain pstore terminology here: there is the "front end"
(dmesg, console, pmsg, etc) and there is the "back end" (ramoops,
blkoops, efi, etc). Since the block layer is a behind blkoops, I'd like
to come up with a term for this since "device driver" is, I think, too
general. You call it later "block device driver", so let's use that
everywhere you say "device driver".

Then we have the layers: pstore front end, pstore core, pstore back end,
and block device driver.

Is there a reason to keep this separate from PSTORE_BLK? (i.e. why a
separate Kconfig?)

How about "Size in Kbytes of dmesg to store"? (It will already show up
under the parent config, so no need to repeat "blkoops" here.

Maybe clarify with as "block device identifier for blkoops" ? Also, I'd
put this before the DMESG_SIZE.

Why is this a Kconfig at all? Isn't the whole point to always catch
oopses? :) Let's leave this default to 1 (as ramoops does).

Can this be named "record_size" to match ramoops?

I'd default this to 1 as mentioned in the Kconfig.

This (and all the others below) will always be defined, so no need to

As mentioned, can this be named "record_size"?

Why copy these separate functions? Shouldn't bzinfo just keep a pointer

I'd drop these tests -- and the snprintf isn't needed with the change
above on initialization.

Please don't use "set_fs". I think you want ITER_KVEC and to use
vfs_iter_read()? A lot of work went into removing set_fs() uses; we
should not add more. :)

This seems like a good place to report getting or failing to get the
named block device.

bdev = blkoops_get_bdev(holder);
if (IS_ERR(bdev)) {
pr_err("failed to open '%s'!\n", blkdev);
return PTR_ERR(bdev);
}

I don't see this function getting used anywhere. Can it be removed? I
see the notes in the Documentation. Could these values just be cached at
open time instead of reopening the device?
