    Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem() · 72a7fe39
    Bernhard Walle 提交于
    This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
    BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
    between crashkernel area and already used memory.
    
    This patch:
    
    Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
    If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
    has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.
    
    Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
    inside reserve_bootmem_core().
