Hi Geliang,

In general I am OK with your idea. But I feel there might be some
regression with your change. I comment your patch in line, correct me if
I am wrong.

If kdumdup_null() is failed, buf will be NULL.

If buf is NULL, env[2] here is pointed to "" which is allocated in
read-only data segment, and not a dynamic memory.

Then kfree() here will try to release a read-only memory segment. I
guess this is problematic.

Same problem might happen here for env[2].
