Currently kdump doesn't support ipv6 nfs/ssh dump. Due to the lastet version of the Internet Protocal, it is a significant feature for kdump to enhance to support ipv6.
Following is the special config for ipv6 protocal.
For ipv6 nfs dump: Link scope, /etc/kdump.conf should be specified like "nfs [fe80::5054:ff:fe48:ca80%eth0]:/mnt" otherwise "nfs [2001:db8:0:f101::2]:/mnt"
For ipv6 ssh dump: Link scope, /etc/kdump.conf should be edited like "ssh root at fe80::5054:ff:fe48:ca80%eth0" otherwise "ssh root at 2001:db8:0:f101::2"
The ipv6 support is splitted to several parts, so the patch subject should be change, it is too general
Also I believe it will not break original functionality if we revert part of this series?
Without this patch, kdump can not kdump to remote via ipv6 address. So I think the subject is fine.
Without the previous patch kdump cannot dump to remote ipv6 as well then why only use it in this patch? A more specific subject is better.
Will change.
Thanks Minfei
Thanks Dave
