With some corrupted vmcore files, the vmcore-dmesg.txt file may grow forever till the kdump disk becomes full, and also probably causes the disk error messages as follow: ... sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#6 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#6 CDB: Read(10) 28 00 08 06 4c 98 00 00 08 00 blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 134630552 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#7 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#7 CDB: Read(10) 28 00 08 06 4c 98 00 00 08 00 blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 134630552 ...
Rethink about the problem, if the log_buf_len is not corrupted, it will be fine, in kernel code log_buf_len is a u32 int. so it will be not possible to fill disk forever unless vmcore-dmesg is buggy.
Also about the implementation, it looks not very elegant. Can you try to add some limitation in vmcore-dmesg.c?
Actually in upstream kernel there is a macro LOG_BUF_LEN_MAX which is defined as 2G, so limit the file output to within 2G should be fine.
Lets limit the size of vmcore-dmesg.txt to avoid such problems.

Changes since v1: [1] Add dump_fs path to limit the size of vmcore-dmesg.txt [2] Add the option 'iflag=fullblock' for the dd command.
