vmcoreinfo file could exists under /sys/kernel (valid on baremetal only) and/or under /sys/hypervisor (valid when Xen dom0 is running). Read only one of them. It means that only one PT_NOTE will be always created. Remove extra code for second PT_NOTE creation.

Hi, I sent the following e-mail to kexec-mailing list (kexec@lists.infradead.org) since subjects of makedumpfile are discussed on the mailing list. I want to inform this to xen developers since I think this function is useful for xen developers. Thanks. Itsuro Oda (see https://sourceforge.net/projects/makedumpfile/ about makedumpfile command.)

Hi, --- background ---------------------------------------------------- * what the makedumpfile is: To shorten the size of the dumpfile and the time of creating the dumpfile, makedumpfile copies only the necessary pages for analysis to the dumpfile from /proc/vmcore. You can specify the kind of unnecessary pages with dump_level. If you want to shorten the size further, enable the co...

...used to keep unplugged subblocks of a memory block fake-offline when onlining the memory block. generic_online_page() is used to fake-online plugged subblocks. This handling is similar to the Hyper-V balloon driver. PG_offline is used to mark unplugged subblocks as offline, so e.g., dumping tools (makedumpfile) will skip these pages. This is similar to other balloon drivers like virtio-balloon and Hyper-V. PG_offline + reference count of 0 [new] is now also used to mark pages as a "skip" when offlining memory blocks. This allows to offline memory blocks that have partially unplugged subblocks...

...added (e.g., usually 128MB on x86-64) in order to plug more subblocks. Only x86-64 was tested for now. The online_page callback is used to keep unplugged subblocks offline when onlining memory - similar to the Hyper-V balloon driver. Unplugged pages are marked PG_offline, to tell dump tools (e.g., makedumpfile) to skip them. User space is usually responsible for onlining the added memory. The memory hotplug notifier is used to synchronize virtio-mem activity against memory onlining/offlining. Each virtio-mem device can belong to a NUMA node, which allows us to easily add/remove small chunks of memory t...

These changes are based on Jason's latest hmm branch. Patch 1 was previously posted here [1] but was dropped from the orginal series. Hopefully, the tests will reduce concerns about edge conditions. I'm sure more tests could be usefully added but I thought this was a good starting point. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190726005650.2566-6-rcampbell at nvidia.com/ Ralph Campbell

This series is based on v5.7-rc4. The patches are located at: https://github.com/davidhildenbrand/linux.git virtio-mem-v4 This is basically a resend of v3 [1], now based on v5.7-rc4 and restested. One patch was reshuffled and two ACKs I missed to add were added. The rebase did not require any modifications to patches. Details about virtio-mem can be found in the cover letter of v2 [2]. A

Hi, This set of patches contains initial kexec/kdump implementation for Xen v2 (previous version were posted to few people by mistake; sorry for that). Currently only dom0 is supported, however, almost all infrustructure required for domU support is ready. Jan Beulich suggested to merge Xen x86 assembler code with baremetal x86 code. This could simplify and reduce a bit size of kernel code.
