    Subject[PATCH 4.9 011/104] MIPS: kexec: Do not reserve invalid crashkernel memory on boot
    Date
    4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski@imgtec.com>


    [ Upstream commit a8f108d70c74d83574c157648383eb2e4285a190 ]

    Do not reserve memory for the crashkernel if the commandline argument
    points to a wrong location. This can happen if the location is specified
    wrong or if the same commandline is reused when starting the crashkernel
    - in the latter case the reserved memory would point to the location
    from which the crashkernel is executing.
