On riscv, the current crash kernel allocation logic is trying to

In need of saving DMA zone memory while allocating a relatively large
crash kernel region, allocating the reserved memory top down in
high memory, without overlapping the DMA zone, is a mature solution.
Here introduce the parameter option crashkernel=X,[high,low].
One can reserve the crash kernel from high memory above DMA zone range
by explicitly passing "crashkernel=X,high"; or reserve a memory range
below 4G with "crashkernel=X,low".

Here, it seems not right in case crashkernel=,high is specified. In that
case, search_start == search_low_max, then the min(search_end,
search_low_max) will get search_low_max too. Then you make the fallback
in below code block to try to get crashkernel reservation above 4G. This
doesn't comply with the crashkernel=,high grammer which has been
implemented in other architectures.
For crashkernel=,high, user explicitly require memory reservation above
4G. Why does crashkernel=,high is needed? E.g on big end server with
huge memory, while the low memory under 4G is limited and precious.
Hence, user want to put the main crashkernel reservation above 4G to
contain kdump kernel/initrd and run user space program, while with few
low memory for pci device driver. E.g crashkernel=2G,high, it won't
impact much if there's huge memory above 4G and get crashkernel
reservation there. However, it impacts a lot if it reserves memory
below 4G.
I would strongly suggest that risc-v also reserve memory from above 4G
for crashkernel=,high, then fallback to below 4G. That's consistent with
crashkernel=,high grammer.
Sorry for late response.
I have got the point here. So with the original implication of "crashkernel=,high",
there is even no need to try reserving low memory under 4G. I have arranged another
version of patchset, in which I updated the allocation logic in that case.
For example, when "crashkernel=1G,high" is specified, the previous logic is like:
alloc range: crash_size: 0x40000000 (1G), crash_base: 4G_limit,
crash_max: 4G_limit
alloc range high: crash_size: 0x40000000 (1G), crash_base: 4G_limit,
crash_max: memblock_range_end
alloc range low: low_size: 0x8000000 (128MB,default), crash_base: 0x0,
crash_max: 4G_limit
After revision, the logic is like:
alloc range: crash_size: 0x40000000 (1G), crash_base: memblock_range_start,
crash_max: memblock_range_end
alloc range low: low_size: 0x8000000 (128MB,default), crash_base: 0x0,
crash_max: 4G_limit
Please let me know if there is any problem exist.
