All 6 kmsg_dumpers do not benefit from the @active flag: (provide their own synchronization) - arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c - arch/um/kernel/kmsg_dump.c - drivers/mtd/mtdoops.c - fs/pstore/platform.c (only dump on KMSG_DUMP_PANIC, which does not require synchronization) - arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-kmsg.c - drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c The other 2 kmsg_dump users also do not rely on @active: (hard-code @active to always be true) - arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c - kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c Therefore, @active can be removed.
