Subject: kexec: fix OOPS in crash_kernel_shrink
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=475f9aa6aa538befcbd0fa95bdebada600f247cd;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

kexec: fix OOPS in crash_kernel_shrink

Two "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" OOPSes kernel.  Also content
of this file is invalid after first shrink to zero: it shows 1 instead of
0.

This scenario is unlikely to happen often (root privs, valid crashkernel=
in cmdline, dump-capture kernel not loaded), I hit it only by chance.

This patch fixes it.
