Well, init_uts_ns is exported in vmcoreinfo anyway - makedumpfile can simply test init_uts_ns.name.release just as well. And the "historically" argument doesn't matter because vmcoreinfo is not an ABI. So makedumpfile needs to be changed to check that new export. > Also, I think crash also will need to be fixed if it is removed. Yes, I'm expecting user tools to be fixed and then exports removed. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. Good mailing practices for 400: avoid top-posting and trim the reply.
