From 92aa63a5a1bf2e7b0c79e6716d24b76dbbdcf951 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 14:58:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kdump: Retrieve saved max pfn This patch retrieves the max_pfn being used by previous kernel and stores it in a safe location (saved_max_pfn) before it is overwritten due to user defined memory map. This pfn is used to make sure that user does not try to read the physical memory beyond saved_max_pfn.
