Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] mm/memory_hotplug: Allow to not create firmware memmap entries
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2020 12:29:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200430102908.10107-1-david@redhat.com> (raw)

This is the follow up of [1]:
	[PATCH v1 0/3] mm/memory_hotplug: Make virtio-mem play nicely with
	kexec-tools

I realized that this is not only helpful for virtio-mem, but also for
dax/kmem - it's a fix for that use case (see patch #3) of persistent
memory.

Also, while testing, I discovered that kexec-tools will *not* add dax/kmem
memory (anything not directly under the root when parsing /proc/iomem) to
the elfcorehdr, so this memory will never get included in a dump. This
probably has to be fixed in kexec-tools - virtio-mem will require this as
well.

v1 -> v2:
- Don't change the resource name
- Rename the flag to MHP_NO_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP to reflect what it is doing
- Rephrase subjects/descriptions
- Use the flag for dax/kmem

I'll have to rebase virtio-mem on these changes, there will be a resend.
