Thanks for your comments. In the new patchset, I didn't move the crash_clear_loaded_vmcss assignment. I added a new percpu variable vmclear_skipped to indicate everything: 1. Before the loaded_vmcss_on_cpu list is initialized, vmclear_skipped is 1 and this means if the machine crashes and doing kdump, crash_clear_loaded_vmcss still will not be called. 2. If the loaded_vmcss_on_cpu list is under manipulation, vmclear_skipped is set to 1 and after the manipulation is finished, the variable is set to 0. 3. After all loaded vmcss are vmcleared, vmclear_skipped is set to 1. So we needn't repeat to vmclear loaded vmcss in kdump path. Please refer to the new version of the patchset I sent. If you have any suggestions, that'll be helpful.
