[patch 6/6] kdump: use is_vmcore_usable() and vmcore_unusable() in reserve_elfcorehdr()

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

 



After recent changes setting elfcorehdr_addr to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX
will cause is_kdump_kernel() to return 0 when it should return 1.
Instead use vmcore_unusable(), which has been added for this purpose.

Andrew, this can wait until post 2.6.27 as although the current
state of affairs is confusing, a bug does not manifest at this time
as there are no callers of is_kdump_kernel on ia64 at this time.

is_vmcore_usable() and vmcore_unusable() are provided by a previous
patch in this series
