Hi, I'm sending this patchset to net-next because it touches a commit [1] that was applied lately to net-next.It would be better to have a generic function for "run with small memory", that can be also triggered in other ways, e.g. a sysctl or a boot opion, with kdump just another user. There are low memory cases which are not kdump.I am fine with a boot option to suggest low memory profile and kdump scripts can be modified to automatically append that command line option to second kernel.
I'm therefore going to assume that this patch series will be updated when the new facility is added.
