kimage structure (Ronit Halder)

[harisha ja]

Hi Ronith,

I think it forward declaration of the structure. that is is required
because the below function uses that structure as parameter.

0 machine_kexec.c      50 void machine_kexec_cleanup(struct kimage *image)
1 machine_kexec.c      54 static void kexec_info(struct kimage *image)
2 machine_kexec.c      73 void machine_kexec(struct kimage *image)

Thanks,
Harish
