[Test Case] 1) Install crashdump 2) Boot machine with hugepages= or hugepagesz= set to a significant amount of memory 3) Try to crash with 'echo 'c' | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger' [Regression Potential] If users really want to have hugepages/hugepagesz on the kexec'd kernel for kdump they can add this via KDUMP_CMDLINE_APPEND in /etc/default/kdump-tools. This patch should also potentially go upstream.
