Subject: [PATCH] Limit the size of vmcore-dmesg.txt to 2G
0c9820
0c9820
With some corrupted vmcore files, the vmcore-dmesg.txt file may grow
0c9820
forever till the kdump disk becomes full, and also probably causes
0c9820
the disk error messages as follow:
0c9820
...
0c9820
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#6 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
0c9820
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#6 CDB: Read(10) 28 00 08 06 4c 98 00 00 08 00
0c9820
blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 134630552
0c9820
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#7 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
0c9820
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#7 CDB: Read(10) 28 00 08 06 4c 98 00 00 08 00
0c9820
blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 134630552
0c9820
...
0c9820
0c9820
If vmcore-dmesg.txt occupies the whole disk, the vmcore can not be
0c9820
saved, this is also a problem.
0c9820
0c9820
Lets limit the size of vmcore-dmesg.txt to avoid such problems.
