The offset of the field 'init_uts_ns.name' has changed
since commit 9a56493f6942 ("uts: Use generic ns_common::count").
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/159644978167.604812.1773586504374412107.stgit@localhost.localdomain
Make the offset of the field 'uts_namespace.name' available
in VMCOREINFO because tools like 'crash-utility' and
'makedumpfile' must be able to read it from crash dumps.

This patch is merged into 5.11-rc1, but we met the makedumpfile failure
of kdump test case in 5.10.0 kernel. Should affect 5.9 too since
commit 9a56493f6942 is merged into 5.9-rc2.
Below tag and CC should have been added into patch when posted.
Fixes: commit 9a56493f6942 ("uts: Use generic ns_common::count")

Hi Greg,
Do we still have chance to make it added into stable?
Thanks

Sure, what is the git commit id of this patch in Linus's tree?
In the future, please read:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

Hmm, commit 9a56493f6942 should have been merged into 5.11-rc1
together with commit ca4a9241cc5e.
Does your makedumpfile have the following patch?
https://github.com/makedumpfile/makedumpfile/commit/54aec3878b3f91341e6bc735eda158cca5c54ec9
or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Kazu

Checked on master branch of mainline kernel, commit 9a56493f6942 is in
5.9-rc1. commit ca4a9241cc5e is merged into 5.11-rc1.

We met this issue on 5.10 kernel, the latest makedumpfile 1.6.8+ fixs
it. Makedumpfile 1.6.8+ includes the commit 54aec3878b3f. Not sure if I
got the kernel commit right in their corresponding release.

Wait, 9a56493f6942 ("uts: Use generic ns_common::count") is in 5.11-rc1,
and this commit fixes that one, so why does anything need to be
backported?
Are you _SURE_ that this commit is needed in 5.10.y?

No, that commit is in 5.11-rc1, not 5.9-rc1:
$ git describe --contains 9a56493f6942

Oh, then I was wrong about it. I add linux-next repo in my linux kernel
folder, so I can't get it with the above command on master branch of
mainline kernel:
[bhe@~ linux]$ git describe --contains 9a56493f6942
next-20200820~107^2~8
I just use 'git log --oneline' and found out commit 9a56493f6942 is
added before 5.9-rc1. Seems this is not right way to get the kernel
release. So please ignore the back porting request of stable tree.
Sorry about the confusion.
Thanks
