[RFC PATCH 5/7] kstate: Add mechanism to preserved specified memory pages across kexec.
From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Wed Oct 02 2024 - 12:10:15 EST
This adds functionality to preserve memory pages across kexec.
kstate_register_page() stores struct page in the special list of
'struct page_state's. At kexec reboot stage this list iterated, pfns
saved into kstate's migrate stream. The new kernel after kexec reads
pfns from the stream and marks memory as reserved to keep it
intact. Also it marked with MEMBLOCK_PRSRV flag indicating that
'struct page' itself shouldn't be reinitialized.
