Hi Jiri,
Sorry, responding to your comment after a very long time.
Now I have made buf field a union as it can either be a user pointer or
a kernel pointer depending on which kexec syscall has been used. Now
caller needs to either use segment->buf or segment->kbuf based on the
context of code.
kexec_segment {
union {
void __user *buf;
void *kbuf;
};
}
Thanks
Vivek
