(FWIW, it made it into Fedora long after it was introduced in RHEL...)
Anyway, Bernard Walle's request made far more sense than the crash driver,
and his patch was ultimately rejected:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/16/117
From: Bernhard Walle <>
Subject: Turn CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM in sysctl dev.mem.restricted
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2008 15:47:45 +0100
So I'm guessing that the crash driver, which is a read-only workaround
for CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM kernels, would suffer the same fate.

Hi Dave,
is there a good reason the crash driver is still only stuck in the
Fedora kernel instead of beeing upstream? We already have the
restrictive memory device options upstream, so there should be a use
case for it.
