If I have read the code correctly, we are going to get this printk on
non-pSeries machines or on older pSeries machines, even if the user
has not put the fadump=on option on the kernel command line. The
printk will be annoying since there is no actual error condition. It
seems to me that the condition for the printk should include
fw_dump.fadump_enabled. In other words you should probably add

if (!fw_dump.fadump_enabled)
return 0;

at the beginning of the function.

Paul.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for pointing it out. Please find the updated patch below.

The existing patches above this (4/10 through 10/10) cleanly applies
on this update.

Thanks,
-Mahesh.

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <[email protected]>

This patch registers for firmware-assisted dump using rtas token
ibm,configure-kernel-dump. During registration firmware is informed about
the reserved area where it saves the CPU state data, HPTE table and contents
of RMR region at the time of kernel crash. Apart from this, firmware also
preserves the contents of entire partition memory even if it is not specified
during registration.

This patch also populates sysfs files under /sys/kernel to display
fadump status and reserved memory regions.

This patch introduces fadump_registered sysfs control file which will be
used by kdump init scripts to start/stop firmware assisted dump. echo 1 to
/sys/kernel/fadump_registered file for fadump registration and
echo 0 to /sys/kernel/fadump_registered file for fadump un-registration.
