[RFC 4/4] Enable memory allocation through sysfs interface

Show all headers | View raw

Modify the sysfs entry "kernel/kexec_crash_size" to allocate or
release memory at run time. The memory size will be written to
the entry in MB. If the user uses high memory (in x86_64). Then
size will be only set for high memory. The low memory will be
allocated automatically. If the size set is zero, the both the
allocated region in low and high memory will be released.
