Subject: [PATCH v2] powernv: don't attempt to refetch the FSP dump until the user has explicitly acked it.
Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 11:15:01 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1392941701-2871-1-git-send-email-stewart@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140116121411.624.55662.stgit@hegdevasant.in.ibm.com>

This fixes a bug where we would get two events from OPAL with DUMP_AVAIL
set (which is valid for OPAL to do) and in the second run of extract_dump()
we would fail to free the memory previously allocated for the dump
(leaking ~6MB+) as well as on the second dump_read_data() call OPAL
would not retrieve the dump, leaving us with a dump in linux that was
the correct size but all zeros.

Changes since v1: fixed typo
