[PATCH v2 0/9] Bug fixes and enhancements for kdump LUKS support

[Coiby Xu]

Hi all,

This patch set brings some stability fixes and improvements to the
recently introduced CONFIG_CRASH_DM_CRYPT feature [1][2] (which is to
support LUKS-encrypted device dump target),
  1. resolve dumping failure when there are >=5 dm-crypt keys
  2. address several memory management issues
  3. fix race conditions like configfs writing happens concurrently with
     kexec_file_load syscall
  4. improve configfs handling
  5. update documentation 


v2
 - A different way to address potential double and UAF issues
 - Address several issues [3] scrutinized by Sourabh based on
   Sashiko's review feedback [4] on v1 patch
 - Other improvements like logging fix and doc updates
