SubjectRe: [PATCH -mm 9/9] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfs
Hi Satyam,

Maybe you should add the above description into
Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt.
The users of netconsole applied these patches may think that they can change
parameters of netconsole_target(param string created at the time of parsing
boot/options).

And I'm going to search the another solution of this problem and read the
code of configfs.

Thanks
