[PATCH v1 6/7] crashdump: create get_elfcorehdrsz()

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

 



This routine provides a means to tune the size of the elfcorehdr
buffer segment, taking into account the --hotplug and
--elfcorehdrsz options. The possibilities are:

                 no --elfcorehdrsz  w/ --elfcorehdrsz
  no --hotplug   just-large-enough  user-specified
  w/ --hotplug   maximum-size       user-specified

Where just-large-enough is the min_size parameter, computed based
upon the existing CPUs and memory regions in the system.

Where maximum-size is computed based upon the maximum number of
CPUs and memory regions possible in the system.
