The quilt patch titled

of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: kexec: add KEXEC_FILE_NO_CMA as a legal flag
Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2025 14:15:26 -0700
Commit 07d24902977e ("kexec: enable CMA based contiguous allocation")
introduces logic to use CMA-based allocation in kexec by default. As part
of the changes, it introduces a kexec_file_load flag to disable the use of
CMA allocations from userspace. However, this flag is broken since it is
missing from the list of legal flags for kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load
returns EINVAL when attempting to use the flag.
Fix this by adding the KEXEC_FILE_NO_CMA flag to the list of legal flags
for kexec_file_load.
Without this fix, kexec_file_load syscall will failed and return
'-EINVAL' when KEXEC_FILE_NO_CMA is specified.
