The quilt patch titled
Subject: riscv: kexec: add support for crashkernel CMA reservation
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
riscv-kexec-add-support-for-crashkernel-cma-reservation.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: riscv: kexec: add support for crashkernel CMA reservation
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:07:38 +0800
Commit 35c18f2933c5 ("Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the crashkernel=
command line option") and commit ab475510e042 ("kdump: implement
reserve_crashkernel_cma") added CMA support for kdump crashkernel
reservation. This allows the kernel to dynamically allocate contiguous
memory for crash dumping when needed, rather than permanently reserving a
fixed region at boot time.
So extend crashkernel CMA reservation support to riscv. The following
changes are made to enable CMA reservation:
- Parse and obtain the CMA reservation size along with other crashkernel
parameters.
- Call reserve_crashkernel_cma() to allocate the CMA region for kdump.
- Include the CMA-reserved ranges for kdump kernel to use.
- Exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the crash kernel memory to
prevent them from being exported through /proc/vmcore.
Update kernel-parameters.txt to document CMA support for crashkernel on
riscv architecture.
