[Crash-utility] crash -s may have some problem
Hi:
When I use crash, I encounter this strange thing.
Executing "vm 1" under crash, I see:
PID: 1 TASK: e0000001ff908000 CPU: 0 COMMAND: "init"
MM PGD RSS TOTAL_VM

But when I execute "vm 1" under crash -s, the second part is missing.
[root@rhel51rc2 crash-4.0-6.1]# crash -s
crash> vm 1
PID: 1 TASK: e0000001ff908000 CPU: 0 COMMAND: "init"
MM PGD RSS TOTAL_VM
0 0 0k 0k
I think is caused by that IS_ZOMBIE(task) in memory.c failed.
And this failure
is caused by that the value of _ZOMBIE_ has not been initialized. the
initialization of
_ZOMBIE_ is in initialize_task_struct(), called by show_context()
finally. But when
executing "crash -s", it's not called.
I added the following code in memory.c before using _ZOMBIE_, but
I don't know
whether it's good, it need to change initialize_task_state() to
nonstatic and use
TASK_STATE_UNINITIALIZED which is now in task.c only.
"
if (_ZOMBIE_ == TASK_STATE_UNINITIALIZED)
initialize_task_state();
"
