I'm not sure that "7/8: makes vmlist only for kexec" is fine. Because it is related to userspace program. As far as I know, makedumpfile use kexec's output information and it only need first address of vmalloc layer. So my implementation reflect this fact, but I'm not sure. And now, I don't fully test this patchset. Basic operation work well, but I don't test kexec. So I send this patchset with 'RFC'.
Yes, this is irritating. Perhaps Vivek or one of the other kexec people could take a look at this please - if would obviously be much better if we can avoid merging [patch 7/8] at all. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
