But it does appear that > an new version can be expected? As we discussed in the thread of replying to the cover letter, the idea of this patchset is not good. Because We tend to use kexec_file_load more and improve/enhance it in the future, and gradually obsolete the old kexec_load interface which this patchset is trying to fix on. And the issue James spot is a very corner case, we have suggested another easier way to avoid it by adding systemd service to load kexec and monitor memory adding/removing uevent, juas as we have done for kdump loading. Bhupesh is working on this to add a service in Fedora and test, and will put it to RHEL too if nobody is unsatisfied.
