[PATCH 07/11] of: reserved_mem: add no-dump crash_mem exclusion helpers

Tue Apr 28 23:58:27 PDT 2026


Provide two kdump-oriented helpers so that arch kexec_file code does
not have to open-code the no-dump filtering loop:

 - of_reserved_mem_no_dump_nr_ranges() returns the number of reserved
   regions flagged with linux,no-dump. Each exclusion may split one
   existing crash_mem range into two, so callers use this count to
   pre-size their crash_mem allocation.

 - of_reserved_mem_exclude_no_dump() walks the reserved_mem[] array
   and calls crash_exclude_mem_range() for each no-dump region.

Both helpers are guarded by CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE; empty inline stubs are
provided for the !KEXEC_FILE case so architecture code can call them
unconditionally.

The consumers are added in the following arm64, riscv and loongarch
patches in this series.
