Hi Ankur,

Thanks for the patch.

Considering dumpfiles without vmcoreinfo and IKCONFIG too, it will be better
to switch the default value of section_size_bits.  We can use machdep->pagesize
here, so how about this?

-       machdep->section_size_bits = _SECTION_SIZE_BITS;
+       if (THIS_KERNEL_VERSION >= LINUX(5,12,0)) {
+               if (machdep->pagesize == 65536)
+                       machdep->section_size_bits = 29;
+               else
+                       machdep->section_size_bits = 27;
+       } else
+               machdep->section_size_bits = _SECTION_SIZE_BITS;

 
This change covers more scenarios and looks good to me. Could you please update this patch? Ankur and Kazu.

Thanks.
Lianbo
