[RFC PATCH 5/5] crash dump bitmap: workaround for kernel 3.9-rc1 kdump issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Linux kernel 3.9-rc1 allows crashkernel above 4GB, but current
kexec-tools doesn't support it yet.
This patch is only a workaround to make kdump work again.
This patch should be removed after kexec-tools 2.0.4 release.
