[merged mm-nonmm-stable] kexec-turn-all-kexec_mutex-acquisitions-into-trylocks.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: kexec: turn all kexec_mutex acquisitions into trylocks
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kexec-turn-all-kexec_mutex-acquisitions-into-trylocks.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

Subject: kexec: turn all kexec_mutex acquisitions into trylocks
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2022 23:32:57 +0100

Patch series "kexec, panic: Making crash_kexec() NMI safe", v4.


This patch (of 2):

Most acquistions of kexec_mutex are done via mutex_trylock() - those were
a direct "translation" from:

  8c5a1cf0ad3a ("kexec: use a mutex for locking rather than xchg()")

there have however been two additions since then that use mutex_lock():
crash_get_memory_size() and crash_shrink_memory().

A later commit will replace said mutex with an atomic variable, and
locking operations will become atomic_cmpxchg().  Rather than having those
mutex_lock() become while (atomic_cmpxchg(&lock, 0, 1)), turn them into
trylocks that can return -EBUSY on acquisition failure.

This does halve the printable size of the crash kernel, but that's still
neighbouring 2G for 32bit kernels which should be ample enough.
