We may need think of another way to export the vmalloc_start value or deduce it in makedumpfile/Crash utility. And then remove the useless vmap_area_list. I am not sure if we should remove vmap_area_list in this patch because the empty value will cause breakage anyway. Otherwise, Reviewed-by: Baoquan He > > > > > 3.
