Well, that is bad design. parse_crashkernel_simple() should return a
*separate* distinct value which denotes that @offset hasn't been passed.
Please fix that by having it return 1 or something else positive to
denote that there wasn't an [@offset] given.
And then correct that crap here:
static void __init reserve_crashkernel(void)
{
...
ret = parse_crashkernel(boot_command_line, total_mem, &crash_size,
&crash_base);
if (ret != 0 || crash_size <= 0) {
where *two*! variables are used as return values from a single function.
That's just sloppy.
Thx.
