[PATCH v5 21/36] proc/kcore: include private-node RAM in the kcore RAM map
From: Gregory Price
Date: Mon Jul 20 2026 - 15:43:58 EST
The kcore_ram_list bounds its scan at the highest pfn in N_MEMORY.
As a result, private nodes placed above the last N_MEMORY node, which is
the common case for device/CXL memory - is truncated out of /proc/kcore.
Include N_MEMORY_PRIVATE nodes in the scan boundary. /proc/kcore is
root-only (CAP_SYS_RAWIO), so this exposes nothing new - it just lets
a debugger read private-node memory like any other RAM.
