Hmm, how much memory do you reserve for crashkernel? I am afraid both of them need be kept in kernel, since makedumpfile need be adapted to kernel, might be not the opposite. My personal opinion. So what's your plan about these two reverted commits? Will you change it in kernel, or just leave it as is and may post another patch to fix it? I will take time to check this issue, maybe later. Not sure what makedumpfile maintainers plan to do about these?
