Subject: [PATCH v9 4/8] crash_dump: reuse saved dm crypt keys for CPU/memory hot-plugging
Date: Fri, 2 May 2025 09:12:38 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250502011246.99238-5-coxu@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250502011246.99238-1-coxu@redhat.com>
When there are CPU and memory hot un/plugs, the dm crypt keys may need
to be reloaded again depending on the solution for crash hotplug
support. Currently, there are two solutions. One is to utilizes udev to
instruct user space to reload the kdump kernel image and initrd,
elfcorehdr and etc again. The other is to only update the elfcorehdr
segment introduced in commit 247262756121 ("crash:
add generic infrastructure for crash hotplug support").
For the 1st solution, the dm crypt keys need to be reloaded again. The
user space can write true to
/sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_key/reuse so the stored keys can be
re-used.
For the 2nd solution, the dm crypt keys don't need to be reloaded.
Currently, only x86 supports the 2nd solution. If the 2nd solution
gets extended to all arches, this patch can be dropped.
