From a8f108d70c74d83574c157648383eb2e4285a190 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcin Nowakowski Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2016 14:43:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: kexec: Do not reserve invalid crashkernel memory on boot Do not reserve memory for the crashkernel if the commandline argument points to a wrong location. This can happen if the location is specified wrong or if the same commandline is reused when starting the crashkernel - in the latter case the reserved memory would point to the location from which the crashkernel is executing.
