6.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Baoquan He <bhe@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f4af41bf177add167e39e4b0203460b1d0b531f6 upstream. Jiri reported that the current kexec_dprintk() always prints out debugging message whenever kexec/kdmmp loading is triggered. That is not wanted. The debugging message is supposed to be printed out when 'kexec -s -d' is specified for kexec/kdump loading. After investigating, the reason is the current kexec_dprintk() takes printk(KERN_INFO) or printk(KERN_DEBUG) depending on whether '-d' is specified. However, distros usually have defaulg log level like below: [~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk 7 4 1 7 So, even though '-d' is not specified, printk(KERN_DEBUG) also always prints out. I thought printk(KERN_DEBUG) is equal to pr_debug(), it's not. Fix it by changing to use pr_info() instead which are expected to work.
