+Dump kernel data structures in drgn
+-----------------------------------
+
+To dump kernel data structures, the following Python script can be used
+in drgn:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+       def align(x, a):
+           """the alignment a should be a power of 2
+           """
+           mask = a - 1
+           return (x+ mask) & ~mask
+
+       def struct_size(struct_type):
+           struct_str = "struct {}".format(struct_type)
+           return sizeof(Object(prog, struct_str, address=0x0))
+
+       def netdev_priv(netdevice):
+           NETDEV_ALIGN = 32
+           return netdevice.value_() + align(struct_size("net_device"), NETDEV_ALIGN)
+
+       name = 'xxx'
+       qlge_device = None
+       netdevices = prog['init_net'].dev_base_head.address_of_()
+       for netdevice in list_for_each_entry("struct net_device", netdevices, "dev_list"):
+           if netdevice.name.string_().decode('ascii') == name:
+               print(netdevice.name)
+
+       ql_adapter = Object(prog, "struct ql_adapter", address=netdev_priv(qlge_device))
+
+The struct ql_adapter will be printed in drgn as follows,
+
+    >>> ql_adapter
+    (struct ql_adapter){

+
+coredump via devlink
+--------------------
+
+
+And the coredump obtained via devlink in json format looks like,
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+       $ devlink health dump show DEVICE reporter coredump -p -j
+       {
+           "Core Registers": {
+               "segment": 1,
+               "values": [ 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ]
+           },
+           "Test Logic Regs": {
+               "segment": 2,
+               "values": [ 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ]
+           },
+           "RMII Registers": {
+               "segment": 3,
+               "values": [ 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ]
+           },
+           ...
+           "Sem Registers": {
+               "segment": 50,
+               "values": [ 0,0,0,0 ]
+           }
+       }
+
+When the module parameter qlge_force_coredump is set to be true, the MPI
+RISC reset before coredumping. So coredumping will much longer since
+devlink tool has to wait for 5 secs for the resetting to be
+finished.
