Commit 73fbc1eba7ff ("MIPS: fix mem=X@Y commandline processing") added a fix to ensure that the memory range between PHYS_OFFSET and low memory address specified by mem= cmdline argument is not later processed by free_all_bootmem. This change was incorrect for systems where the commandline specifies more than 1 mem argument, as it will cause all memory between PHYS_OFFSET and each of the memory offsets to be marked as reserved, which results in parts of the RAM marked as reserved (Creator CI20's u-boot has a default commandline argument 'mem=256M@0x0 mem=768M@0x30000000').
Change the behaviour to ensure that only the range between PHYS_OFFSET and the lowest start address of the memories is marked as protected.
This change also ensures that the range is marked protected even if it's only defined through the devicetree and not only via commandline arguments.

Thanks
Could you please review the patch v3 ?
Yes, looks good to me, and Ralf had applied to his test branch so I presume he's happy with it too. I'll apply for 4.16.
Hum, just to be sure I understand the process. Which branch are you talking about:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ralf/linux.git
Commit 73fbc1eba7ff ("MIPS: fix mem=X@Y commandline processing") which this fixes was evidently requested to be backported to stable (unsure who by) and added to the 4.9 queue, but then this arose and it was removed until this fix is merged (see https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/17268/).
Anybody know how far back before 4.11 both of these patches should be applied to stable? If not I'll just leave it at 4.11 and if its important before then for kexec or whatever they can be requested again.
