The quilt patch titled Subject: kexec: fix the unexpected kexec_dprintk() macro has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kexec-fix-the-unexpected-kexec_dprintk-macro.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Baoquan He bhe@redhat.com Subject: kexec: fix the unexpected kexec_dprintk() macro Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2024 12:22:38 +0800
Jiri reported that the current kexec_dprintk() always prints out debugging message whenever kexec/kdmmp loading is triggered. That is not wanted. The debugging message is supposed to be printed out when 'kexec -s -d' is specified for kexec/kdump loading.
After investigating, the reason is the current kexec_dprintk() takes printk(KERN_INFO) or printk(KERN_DEBUG) depending on whether '-d' is specified. However, distros usually have defaulg log level like below:
[~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk 7 4 1 7
So, even though '-d' is not specified, printk(KERN_DEBUG) also always prints out. I thought printk(KERN_DEBUG) is equal to pr_debug(), it's not.
Fix it by changing to use pr_info() instead which are expected to work.
