Subject: [PATCH v6 09/10] of: reserved_mem: mark /memreserve/ entries as MEMBLOCK_NODUMP
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 15:31:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902073116.802752-10-chenwandun1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902073116.802752-1-chenwandun1@gmail.com>
From: Wandun Chen <chenwandun@lixiang.com>
The /memreserve/ entries are memory reservations made by the bootloader
or firmware, their contents are not needed for kernel crash analysis,
so mark them MEMBLOCK_NODUMP to have kdump omit them from the vmcore.
Entries that overlap a dumpable region (such as CMA) are left unmarked,
because the pages of a dumpable region may carry crash-relevant data.
