Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] kexec: reorganize sysfs interface and add new kexec sysfs
Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2025 10:21:02 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251106045107.17813-1-sourabhjain@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
All existing kexec and kdump sysfs entries are moved to a new location,
/sys/kernel/kexec, to keep /sys/kernel/ clean and better organized.
Symlinks are created at the old locations for backward compatibility and
can be removed in the future [02/05].
While doing this cleanup, missing ABI documentation for the old sysfs
interfaces is added, and those entries are marked as deprecated
[01/05 and 03/05]. New ABI documentation is also added for the
reorganized interfaces. [04/05]
Along with this reorganization, a new sysfs file,
/sys/kernel/kexec/crash_cma_ranges, is introduced to export crashkernel
CMA reservation details to user space [05/05]. This helps tools determine the
total crashkernel reserved memory and warn users that capturing user
pages while CMA is reserved may cause incomplete or unreliable dumps.
