I am sorry for that I could not catch the meaning of above words. In my understanding: If the code is already in current kernel and no matter whether it is built or modulized, the code could be added before crash_kexec. Is it right?
If my understanding is not right, please let me ask a question before we provide the code. What kind of code is considered as nice code and could be added into current kernel? Could you give me some requirements or examples about nice code?
Best regards, Jin Dongming
