Subject: mm/mm_init: ignore kernelcore=mirror boot option when no mirror memory present
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2023 19:36:14 +0100
In a machine where no mirror memory is set, All memory region in
ZONE_NORMAL is used as ZONE_MOVABLE when kernelcore=mirror boot option is
used. So, ZONE_NORMAL couldn't be populated properly because all of
ZONE_NORMAL pages is absent.
To avoid this abnormal situation,
ignore disable kernelcore=mirror option when no mirror memory is found.
