[PATCH 03/13] kexec: Move segment verification code in a separate function

Vivek Goyal vgoyal at redhat.com
Tue Jun 3 06:06:52 PDT 2014


Previously do_kimage_alloc() will allocate a kimage structure, copy
segment list from user space and then do the segment list sanity verification.

Break down this function in 3 parts. do_kimage_alloc_init() to do actual
allocation and basic initialization of kimage structure.
copy_user_segment_list() to copy segment list from user space and
sanity_check_segment_list() to verify the sanity of segment list as passed
by user space.

In later patches, I need to only allocate kimage and not copy segment
list from user space. So breaking down in smaller functions enables
re-use of code at other places.
