Hi Ken'ichi,
Yes, that will have to be done for these non-CONFIG_SPARSEMEM kernels.
Since we (Red Hat) are converting all kernels to CONFIG_SPARSEMEM,
I don't have a test kernel or kernel/vmcore to work with.
Will you be able to possibly look into adapting node_table_init() and
dump_memory_nodes() for this new design?
Currently, I'm working on the partial
dump command so that it will work
on SPARSEMEM kernels. Maybe I could work on it after that.
I don't think that this new design is necessary at once. Because
RHEL5-kernel will not have a symbol node_data. I made linux-2.6.18-rc2
of RHEL5-config(from Linda Wang) on i386, x86_64, and ia64 system.
As a result, these kernels didn't have a symbol node_data.
Thanks
