Subject: Do not free fadump memory when reboot is requested References: bsc#1040610 Freeing fadump memory can take a long time and doing it when we are going to reboot anyway is pointless. In bsc#1034169 a kernel oops is triggered by freeing fadump memory killing save_dump.sh and preventing the reboot requested by the user from happening entirely. Avoid the issue and speed up reboot by not freeing fadump memory when reboot is requested.
