[PATCH v24 6/6] docs: kdump: Update the crashkernel description for arm64

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Now arm64 has added support for "crashkernel=X,high" and
"crashkernel=Y,low". Unlike x86, crash low memory is not allocated if
"crashkernel=Y,low" is not specified.
