[PATCH 5/6] LoongArch/kexec_file: Add "mem" parameter to limit memory usage of kdump kernel
From: Youling Tang
Date: Mon Aug 11 2025 - 05:30:16 EST
From: Youling Tang <tangyouling@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add the "mem=size@start" parameter to the cmdline and pass it to the
capture kernel. Limit the runtime memory area for capturing the kernel
to avoid disrupting the production kernel site.
