Re: [PATCH v2] memblock: export memblock_free() to free reserved memory.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Yes. we have a reserved memory used for display the image, which needs
to be deleted from memblock.reserved list(memblock_free
()) after display and then released into the buddy system(free_reserved_page
()). Should I use memblock_free() or another API?
