We write some customized values into VMCOREINFO and we find that eventually the size of the data we write exceeds the size of VMCOREINFO. I find that the size of VMCOREINFO is one page, which I believe is 4k. I am wondering is there any specific reason to choose this size? Is it possible to use a bigger number? Any suggestions about it would be appreciated. Thanks.
