+#!/bin/bash
+# This util helps to reduce the workload of kdump service restarting
+# on udev event. When hotplugging memory / CPU, multiple udev
+# events may be triggered concurrently, and obviously, we don't want
+# to restart kdump service for each event.
+
+# This script will be called by udev, and make sure kdump service is
+# restart after all events we are watching are settled.
+
+# On each call, this script will update try to aquire the $throttle_lock
+# The first instance acquired the file lock will keep waiting for events
+# to settle and then reload kdump. Other instances will just exit
+# In this way, we can make sure kdump service is restarted immediately
+# and for exactly once after udev events are settled.
