Subject: [PATCH] vmcore-dmesg: Collect full dmesg regardless of logged_chars
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2015 15:46:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1446018409-11183-1-git-send-email-dliu@redhat.com> (raw)

logged_chars would be set to 0 by `dmesg -c`, but full dmesg is useful
for debugging. So instead of using logged_chars directly, we calculate
it by ourselves.

Now logged_chars is set to the minimum of log_end and log_buf_len, as
the same logic as crash utility is using.
