+
+This driver use drgn and devlink for debugging.
+
+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){
+            .ricb = (struct ricb){

+            }
+    }
+
+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.
