Hello Lianbo,
I have three suggestions for the patch set:
[0x1] Set default log path to '/var/log/kdump' instead of '/var/crash'.
In my opinion, '/var/log/kdump' is more standard location than
'/var/crash'.
[0x2] Add a timestamp to the debug log messages.
An end user can execute the 'kdumpctl' command multiple times and without
a timestamp it would be difficult to read the messages from the log file.
[0x3] Print a message to differentiate between the kexec and mkdumprd log.
Thanks for your comment, Buland.
I will improve it in v2 based on your suggestion.
Thanks.
Lianbo
