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.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
