[PATCH] makedumpfile: message on non-mmap kernels

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

 



From: Cliff Wickman <cpw@xxxxxxx>

If the crash kernel does not support mmap(2) of /proc/vmcore, make
makedumpfile fall back to using reads with a non-alarming message.
