Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] memblock: factor out the KHO bootmem check from memblock_alloc_hugetlb()
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 23:10:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021211058.83483-2-azpijr@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021211058.83483-1-azpijr@gmail.com>
reserve_mem regions are preserved with KHO too, and need the same search
that keeps HugeTLB pages out of KHO bootmem. Move it into a helper.
No functional change intended.
