File kdump-fadump-bootloader-always.patch of Package kdump.5722

Date: Fri Sep 26 08:10:38 2014 +0200
From: Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.cz>
Subject: Always turn on fadump if KDUMP_FADUMP is true
References: bsc#889192
Patch-mainline: v0.8.16
Git-commit: 1f7e52d908f0ad2b2a33cdd374a8888bcf6f8234

The problem is that fadump-related files under /sys/kernel are
created only if the kernel is booted with fadump=on. So, this
is a chicken-and-egg problem, and a reboot is always necessary if
the current kernel is loaded without fadump=on.

However, if the command line is not modified here, the admin must
first add fadump=on to the bootloader command line, and then enable
KDUMP_FADUMP, i.e. enable it in two different places. If the command
line is modified unconditionally, there is only one "big switch" for
FADUMP.
