[PATCH v1 7/9] arm64: kdump: No need to mark crashkernel pages manually PG_reserved
From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Fri Dec 14 2018 - 06:11:15 EST
The crashkernel is reserved via memblock_reserve(). memblock_free_all()
will call free_low_memory_core_early(), which will go over all reserved
memblocks, marking the pages as PG_reserved.
So manually marking pages as PG_reserved is not necessary, they are
already in the desired state (otherwise they would have been handed over
to the buddy as free pages and bad things would happen).
