Hi Michael,
Please consider this changelog for this patch:
--
crashkernel parameter supports different syntaxes to specify the amount
of memory to be reserved for kdump kernel. Below is one of the supported
syntaxes that needs parsing to find the memory size to reserve, based on
memory range:
crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...]
While such parsing is implemented for crashkernel parameter, it applies to
other parameters, like fadump_reserve_mem, which could use similar syntax.
So, to reuse code, moving the code that checks if the parameter syntax is as
above and also the code that parses memory size to reserve, for this syntax.
While the code is moved to kernel/params.c file, there is no change in logic
for crashkernel parameter parsing as the moved code is invoked with function
calls at appropriate places.
--
Thanks
Hari
