Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/2] xen/kexec: Reserve KEXEC_TYPE_LIVEUPDATE and KEXEC_RANGE_MA_LIVEUPDATE
Date: Thu, 6 May 2021 11:42:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210506104259.16928-3-julien@xen.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210506104259.16928-1-julien@xen.org>
From: Julien Grall <jgrall@amazon.com>
Unfortunately, the code to support Live Update has already been merged in
Kexec and shipped since 2.0.21. Reserve the IDs used by Kexec before they
end up to be re-used for a different purpose.
This patch reserves two IDs:
* KEXEC_TYPE_LIVEUPDATE: New operation to request Live Update
* KEXEC_MA_RANGE_LIVEUPDATE: New range to query the Live Update
area below Xen
