Hi All,
I met the makedumpfile failed in the upstream kernel which contained
this patch. Did I missed something else?
None I'm aware of.
Is there a reason to suspect that the issue is related to the bug this patch
fixed?
I did a contrastive test by my colleagues Indoh's suggestion.

...and keep others unchanged, the makedumpfile works well.
Still works fine for me with .today. Box is only 16GB desktop box though.
Btw, In the upstream kernel which contained this patch, I did two tests:
1) use the makedumpfile as core_collector in /etc/kdump.conf, then
trigger the process of kdump by echo 1 >/proc/sysrq-trigger, the
makedumpfile works well and I can get the vmcore file.
......It is OK
2) use cp as core_collector, do the same operation to get the vmcore
file. then use makedumpfile to do like above:
[douly@localhost code]$ ./makedumpfile -d 31 --message-level 31 -x
vmlinux_4.15+ vmcore_4.15+_from_cp_command vmcore_4.15+
......It causes makedumpfile failed.
Thanks,
dou.
