Subject: [PATCH] fadump: allow duplicate assignment to /sys/kernel/fadump_registered when it's assigned the desired value already
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2013 08:46:28 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5164B664.6070306@gmail.com> (raw)

When the fadump is enabled, we have /sys/kernel/fadump_enabled assigned 1.
But sometimes we need to restart the fadump service by 'service kdump restart',
in case the kdump script has added the fadump detect/support already.
In current implementation, we cannot re-assign 1 to /sys/kernel/fadump_enabled
if 1 is already set and we have added more logic check in the user space script.

I think we can enable the duplicate assignment to ease the user space tools,
as long as the value is the right 1 or 0.
