[PATCH] x86, calgary: use 8M TCE table size by default

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

 



kexec-tools wants to pass kdump kernel needed memmap via E820 directly,
instead of memmap=exactmap. That'll make saved_max_pfn totally useless.

Muli suggest to hard code TCE table size to max (8M) so that kdump
kernel could use this default size and kexec-tools doesn't need to pass
saved_max_pfn to kdump kernel in any way.
