Re: [PATCH v5 03/17] kexec: Extract kexec_free_segment_cma() from kimage_free_cma()

[sashiko-bot]

> kimage_free_cma() relies on image->nr_segments to iterate over segments.
> When an architecture loader (e.g., arm64) truncates nr_segments on a
> mid-way failure, CMA pages allocated beyond the new boundary become
> unreachable, causing silent memory leaks.
> 
> Extract the per-segment freeing logic into the exported helper
> kexec_free_segment_cma(), so that architecture loaders can release
> individual segments before nr_segments is truncated. Refactor
> kimage_free_cma() to loop over the new helper, preserving existing
> behavior.
