From: Vivek Goyal Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 21:58:18 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] kdump: Retrieve saved max pfn X-Git-Tag: v2.6.13-rc1~68^2~97 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=92aa63a5a1bf2e7b0c79e6716d24b76dbbdcf951;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git [PATCH] kdump: Retrieve saved max pfn This patch retrieves the max_pfn being used by previous kernel and stores it in a safe location (saved_max_pfn) before it is overwritten due to user defined memory map. This pfn is used to make sure that user does not try to read the physical memory beyond saved_max_pfn.
