Hello Vivek, Here is a patch set for mmap failure for /proc/vmcore. Could you try to use this on the problematic system? This patch doesn't copy partial pages to the 2nd kernel, only prepares vmcore objects for respective partial pages to invoke remap_pfn_range() for individual partial pages. >From c83dddd23be2a2972dcb3f252598c39abfa23078 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 28 Nov 2013 14:51:22 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] vmcore: call remap_pfn_range() separately for respective partial pages Acording to the report by Vivek in https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/13/439, on some specific systems, some of the System RAM ranges don't end at page boundary and the later part of the same page is used for some kind of ACPI data. As a result, remap_pfn_range() to the partial page failed if mapping range covers a boundary of the System RAM part and the ACPI data part in the partial page, due to the detection of different cache types in track_pfn_remap(). To resolve the issue, call remap_pfn_range() separately for respective partial pages, not for multiple consequtive pages that don't either start or end at page boundary, by creating vmcore objects for respective partial pages. This patch never changes shape of /proc/vmcore visible from user-land.
