Hello Xunlei,

As you already know on s390 we create the ELF header in the new kernel.
Therefore we don't use the per-cpu buffers for ELF notes to store
the register state.

For RHEL7 we still store the registers in machine_kexec.c:add_elf_notes().
Though we also use the ELF header from new kernel ...

We assume your original problem with the "kmem -s" failure
was caused by the memory overwrite due to the invalid size of the
"crash_notes" per-cpu buffers.

Therefore your patch looks good for RHEL7 but for upstream we propose the
patch below.

[PATCH] s390/crash: Remove unused KEXEC_NOTE_BYTES

After commmit 692f66f26a4c19 ("crash: move crashkernel parsing and vmcore
related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE") the KEXEC_NOTE_BYTES macro is not
used anymore and for s390 we create the ELF header in the new kernel
anyway. Therefore remove the macro.

Hi Michael,

Yes, we already did this way.
Thanks for the confirmation, the patch below looks good to me.
