If you don't like the conversion, just initialise fixed_base to false and here: if (crash_base) { fixed_base = true; crash_max = crash_base + crash_size; } > +retry: > crash_base = memblock_phys_alloc_range(crash_size, CRASH_ALIGN, > crash_base, crash_max); > if (!crash_base) { > + /* > + * Attempt to fully allocate low memory failed, fall back > + * to high memory, the minimum required low memory will be > + * reserved later. > + */ I'm not sure this comment makes sense. If !crash_base, it doesn't mean the kernel failed to fully allocate low memory. crash_max here could be CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX if crashkerne=X,high was specified. Maybe says something like "If the first attempt was for low memory, fall back to high ..." > + if (!fixed_base && (crash_max == CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX)) { > + crash_max = CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX; > + crash_low_size = DEFAULT_CRASH_KERNEL_LOW_SIZE; > + goto retry; > + } The retry logic looks fine, it only happens once as crash_max is updated. -- Catalin
