Hi Dave


Thanks for the review..

Hi Hari,

crashkernel parameter supports different syntaxes to specify the amount
of memory to be reserved for kdump kernel. Below is one of the supported
syntaxes that needs parsing to find the memory size to reserve, based on
memory range:

crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...]

While such parsing is implemented for crashkernel parameter, it applies
to other parameters, like fadump_reserve_mem=, which could use similar
syntax. This patch moves crashkernel's parsing code for above syntax to
to kernel/params.c file for reuse. Two functions is_param_range_based()
and parse_mem_range_size() are added to kernel/params.c file for this
purpose.

Any parameter that uses the above syntax can use is_param_range_based()
function to validate the syntax and parse_mem_range_size() function to
get the parsed memory size. While some code is moved to kernel/params.c
file, there is no change functionality wise in parsing the crashkernel
parameter.

/lib/cmdline.c is a better place for this?

True. Will change accordingly..

It is not necessary to be range specific? Maybe is_colon_in_param or
something else. If it is range based we need know what is the range
like.

Hmmm.. I prefer to rename it to is_colon_in_param() and avoid
adding anymore checks here..

There should be detail example about the range format, especially about

I haven't changed the content of print messages while moving them around.
Probably I should..
