Re: [PATCH] Don't unmount the dump target just after saving vmcore

From: Kazuhito Hagio <k-hagio-ab(a)nec.com&gt; Since commit 6dee286467e5 ("Don't mount the dump target unless needed"), dump_fs function unmounts the dump target just after saving vmcore. This broke the condition that it's mounted when executing "kdump_post", which had been stable since RHEL5, and a certain tool which uses the kdump_post hook to save information of 2nd kernel to the dump target started to fail. As unmounting it is done by systemd-shutdown before reboot without the umount command as below, so let's don't unmount it in dump_fs. systemd-shutdown[1]: Unmounting file systems. [547]: Remounting '/sysroot' read-only in with options '(null)'. EXT4-fs (dm-0): re-mounted. Opts: (null) [548]: Unmounting '/sysroot'.
