Yeah we could do that. In ideal case production and capture kernel will
be same. But yes, there can be cases where we may end up in older/newer
kernel scenario. My earlier versions had backward compatibility which I
broke in v3. I can fix that in v4. Thanks for catching it. Will also
update documentation mentioning working kernel combinations.

Thanks,
-Mahesh.

Re: [PATCH v3 1/7] powerpc/fadump: Move the metadata region to start of the reserved area.

2018-04-03 Thread Hari Bathini

Mahesh, I think we should explicitly document that production and 
capture kernel
versions should be same. For changes like below, older/newer production 
kernel vs
capture kernel is bound to fail. Of course, production and capture 
kernel versions
would be the same case usually but for the uninitiated, mentioning that 
explicitly

in documentation would help..?

Thanks
Hari

[PATCH v3 1/7] powerpc/fadump: Move the metadata region to start of the reserved area.

2018-04-02 Thread Mahesh J Salgaonkar

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar 

Currently the metadata region that holds crash info structure and ELF core
header is placed towards the end of reserved memory area. This patch places
it at the beginning of the reserved memory area.
