The patch titled Use BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE for kdump has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is use-bootmem_exclusive-for-kdump.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ 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=).
