The patch titled Use BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE for kdump has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was use-bootmem_exclusive-for-kdump.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Use BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE for kdump From: Bernhard Walle <bwalle@xxxxxxx> Use the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE, introduced in the previous patch, to avoid conflicts while reserving the memory for the kdump capture kernel (crashkernel=).
