It corrects having a DMA zone in low memory while crash-kernel is above 4GB. This has been going on for a year now. I will also like this patch to be added in Linux as early as possible. Issue mentioned by me happens with or without this patch. This patch-set can consider fixing because it uses low memory for DMA & swiotlb only. We can consider restricting crashkernel within the required range like below diff --git a/kernel/crash_core.c b/kernel/crash_core.c index 7f9e5a6dc48c..bd67b90d35bd 100644 --- a/kernel/crash_core.c +++ b/kernel/crash_core.c @@ -354,7 +354,7 @@ int __init reserve_crashkernel_low(void) return 0; } - low_base = memblock_find_in_range(0, 1ULL << 32, low_size, CRASH_ALIGN); + low_base = memblock_find_in_range(0, 0xc0000000, low_size, CRASH_ALIGN); if (!low_base) { pr_err("Cannot reserve %ldMB crashkernel low memory, please try smaller size.\n", (unsigned long)(low_size >> 20)); Similar change can be considered for scenario "without" this patch. But it will decrease memory availability for crashkernel. Hence increase the failure probability of crashkernel reservation. --pk _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
