The patch titled Subject: kdump: print a message in case parse_crashkernel_mem resulted in zero bytes has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is kdump-print-a-message-in-case-parse_crashkernel_mem-resulted-in-zero-bytes.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/kdump-print-a-message-in-case-parse_crashkernel_mem-resulted-in-zero-bytes.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/kdump-print-a-message-in-case-parse_crashkernel_mem-resulted-in-zero-bytes.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Dave Young <dyoung@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kdump: print a message in case parse_crashkernel_mem resulted in zero bytes parse_crashkernel_mem() silently returns if we get zero bytes in the parsing function. It is useful for debugging to add a message, especially if the kernel cannot boot correctly. Add a pr_info instead of pr_warn because it is expected behavior for size = 0, eg. crashkernel=2G-4G:128M, size will be 0 in case system memory is less than 2G.
