Subject: [PATCH v2 8/9] crash_dump: Disallow configfs/crash_dm_crypt_key/reuse if CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG enabled
Date: Sat,  2 May 2026 07:43:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501234342.2518281-9-coiby.xu@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260501234342.2518281-1-coiby.xu@gmail.com>

If CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG is enabled, dm-crypt keys saved to reserved
memory will be took care of automatically. Thus it doesn't make sense
to use configfs/crash_dm_crypt_key/reuse. Reserving
image->dm_crypt_keys_addr is also unnecessary. Currently x86_64 and
ppc64le have implemented CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG feature.

Also update the doc accordingly. Note two doc issues are fixed as well.

Fixes: 9ebfa8dcaea7 ("crash_dump: reuse saved dm crypt keys for CPU/memory hot-plugging")
