Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/2] s390/mm: don't set ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2020 17:01:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200417150151.17239-3-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200417150151.17239-1-david@redhat.com>
Commit 50be63450728 ("s390/mm: Convert bootmem to memblock") mentions
"The original bootmem allocator is getting replaced by memblock. To
cover the needs of the s390 kdump implementation the physical
memory list is used."
zcore was converted to use resources instead of memblocks.
memblock_discard() will *not* mess with "physmem", only with "memory" and
"reserved" memblocks. So, that data will stay after early boot, to be
used in arch/s390/kernel/crash_dump.c to create the ELF header from
inside the 2nd (a.k.a. dumping) kernel.
We no longer need ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK.
