Re: [PATCH v2 06/20] vmcore, procfs: introduce a flag to distinguishobjects copied in 2nd kernel

[Yanfei Zhang]

2013/3/2 HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
> The part of dump target memory is copied into the 2nd kernel if it
> doesn't satisfy mmap()'s page-size boundary requirement. To
> distinguish such copied object from usual old memory, a flag
> MEM_TYPE_CURRENT_KERNEL is introduced. If this flag is set, the object
> is considered being copied into buffer on the 2nd kernel.
