The quilt patch titled Subject: x86/kexec: remove unnecessary arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was x86-kexec-remove-unnecessary-arch_kexec_kernel_image_load.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: x86/kexec: remove unnecessary arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2023 16:44:15 -0600 Patch series "kexec: Remove unnecessary arch hook", v2. There are no arch-specific things in arch_kexec_kernel_image_load(), so remove it and just use the generic version. This patch (of 2): The x86 implementation of arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() is functionally identical to the generic arch_kexec_kernel_image_load(): arch_kexec_kernel_image_load # x86 if (!image->fops || !image->fops->load) return ERR_PTR(-ENOEXEC); return image->fops->load(image, image->kernel_buf, ...) arch_kexec_kernel_image_load # generic kexec_image_load_default if (!image->fops || !image->fops->load) return ERR_PTR(-ENOEXEC); return image->fops->load(image, image->kernel_buf, ...) Remove the x86-specific version and use the generic arch_kexec_kernel_image_load(). No functional change intended.
