commit 7bb5da0d490b2d836c5218f5186ee588d2145310 upstream.
Patch series "kexec, panic: Making crash_kexec() NMI safe", v4.
This patch (of 2):
Most acquistions of kexec_mutex are done via mutex_trylock() - those were a direct "translation" from:
8c5a1cf0ad3a ("kexec: use a mutex for locking rather than xchg()")
there have however been two additions since then that use mutex_lock(): crash_get_memory_size() and crash_shrink_memory().
A later commit will replace said mutex with an atomic variable, and locking operations will become atomic_cmpxchg(). Rather than having those mutex_lock() become while (atomic_cmpxchg(&lock, 0, 1)), turn them into trylocks that can return -EBUSY on acquisition failure.
This does halve the printable size of the crash kernel, but that's still neighbouring 2G for 32bit kernels which should be ample enough.
