* [PATCH 13/13] Remove --non-cyclic option.Atsushi Kumagai2015-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | --non-cyclic option is no longer useful, should be removed. Additionally, since cyclic mode and non-cyclic mode are merged into the same code, info->flag_cyclic means whether multi-cycle processing is necessary or not, the related descriptions should be fixed.

* [PATCH v4 1/12] Introduce cyclic mode to keep memory usage constant.Atsushi Kumagai2012-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patchset introduces new filtering logic called "cyclic mode" as a default. In the cyclic mode, makedumpfile reads regions of a fixed size from /proc/vmcore, analyzes it, and writes pages to dumpfile repeatedly from start of memory to the end. As a result, memory usage will be kept constant regardless of system memory size. However, the cyclic mode has performance issue in the logic to exclude free pages. (I'm going to improve this issue in feature release.) If you feel the cyclic mode is too slow, you can specify --non-cyclic option.
