Subject: [PATCH] mm/memblock: only mark/clear KHO scratch memory when needed
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2025 07:20:51 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251126072051.546700-1-usamaarif642@gmail.com> (raw)
The scratch memory for kexec handover is used to bootstrap the
kexec'ed kernel. It is only needed when CONFIG_MEMBLOCK_KHO_SCRATCH
is enabled (selected by KHO) and if it is a KHO boot. Add checks
to prevent marking a KHO scratch region unless needed.
kexec_handover.h is now unconditionally included for is_kho_boot.
Fixes: a2daf83e10378 ("x86/e820: temporarily enable KHO scratch for memory below 1M")
