Hi Sourabh, Thanks for the great work. There are some concerns, please see inline comments.

So finally you add a new KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT flag, that's fine. > ...... > diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/kexec.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/kexec.h > index 9bb6607e864e..e791129fdf6c 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/kexec.h > +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/kexec.h > @@ -211,6 +211,9 @@ extern void kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus(void); > void arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event(struct kimage *image, void *arg); > #define arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event > > +int arch_crash_hotplug_support(struct kimage *image, unsigned long kexec_flags); > +#define arch_crash_hotplug_support arch_crash_hotplug_support > + > #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU > int arch_crash_hotplug_cpu_support(void); > #define crash_hotplug_cpu_support arch_crash_hotplug_cpu_support Then crash_hotplug_cpu_support is not needed any more on x86_64, and crash_hotplug_memory_support(), if you remove their implementation in arch/x86/kernel/crash.c, won't it cause building warning or error on x86? > diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/crash.c b/arch/x86/kernel/crash.c > index 44744e9c68ec..293b54bff706 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/kernel/crash.c > +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/crash.c > @@ -398,20 +398,16 @@ int crash_load_segments(struct kimage *image) > #undef pr_fmt > #define pr_fmt(fmt) "crash hp: " fmt > > -/* These functions provide the value for the sysfs crash_hotplug nodes */ > -#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU > -int arch_crash_hotplug_cpu_support(void) > +int arch_crash_hotplug_support(struct kimage *image, unsigned long kexec_flags) > { > - return crash_check_update_elfcorehdr(); > -} > -#endif > > -#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG > -int arch_crash_hotplug_memory_support(void) > -{ > - return crash_check_update_elfcorehdr(); > -} > +#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE > + if (image->file_mode) > + return 1; > #endif > + return (kexec_flags & KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR || > + kexec_flags & KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT); Do we need add some document to tell why there are two kexec flags on x86_64, except of checking this patch log? > +} > > unsigned int arch_crash_get_elfcorehdr_size(void) > { > diff --git a/drivers/base/cpu.c b/drivers/base/cpu.c > index 548491de818e..2f411ddfbd8b 100644 > --- a/drivers/base/cpu.c > +++ b/drivers/base/cpu.c > @@ -306,7 +306,7 @@ static ssize_t crash_hotplug_show(struct device *dev, > struct device_attribute *attr, > char *buf) > { > - return sysfs_emit(buf, "%d\n", crash_hotplug_cpu_support()); > + return sysfs_emit(buf, "%d\n", crash_check_hotplug_support()); > } > static DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_RO(crash_hotplug); > #endif > diff --git a/drivers/base/memory.c b/drivers/base/memory.c > index 8a13babd826c..e70ab1d3428e 100644 > --- a/drivers/base/memory.c > +++ b/drivers/base/memory.c > @@ -514,7 +514,7 @@ static DEVICE_ATTR_RW(auto_online_blocks); > static ssize_t crash_hotplug_show(struct device *dev, > struct device_attribute *attr, char *buf) > { > - return sysfs_emit(buf, "%d\n", crash_hotplug_memory_support()); > + return sysfs_emit(buf, "%d\n", crash_check_hotplug_support()); > } > static DEVICE_ATTR_RO(crash_hotplug); > #endif > diff --git a/include/linux/kexec.h b/include/linux/kexec.h > index 802052d9c64b..7880d74dc5c4 100644 > --- a/include/linux/kexec.h > +++ b/include/linux/kexec.h > @@ -317,8 +317,8 @@ struct kimage { > /* If set, we are using file mode kexec syscall */ > unsigned int file_mode:1; > #ifdef CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG > - /* If set, allow changes to elfcorehdr of kexec_load'd image */ > - unsigned int update_elfcorehdr:1; > + /* If set, allow changes to kexec segments of kexec_load'd image */ The code comment doesn't reflect the usage of the flag. You set it too when it's kexec_file_load. Speaking of this, I do wonder why you need set it too for kexec_file_load, and why we have arch_crash_hotplug_support(), then crash_check_hotplug_support() both of which have the same effect. > + unsigned int hotplug_support:1; > #endif > > #ifdef ARCH_HAS_KIMAGE_ARCH > @@ -396,9 +396,10 @@ bool kexec_load_permitted(int kexec_image_type); > > /* List of defined/legal kexec flags */ > #ifndef CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP > -#define KEXEC_FLAGS (KEXEC_ON_CRASH | KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR) > +#define KEXEC_FLAGS (KEXEC_ON_CRASH | KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR | KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT) > #else > -#define KEXEC_FLAGS (KEXEC_ON_CRASH | KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT | KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR) > +#define KEXEC_FLAGS (KEXEC_ON_CRASH | KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT | KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR | \ > + KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT) > #endif > > /* List of defined/legal kexec file flags */ > @@ -486,14 +487,18 @@ static inline void arch_kexec_pre_free_pages(void *vaddr, unsigned int pages) { > static inline void arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event(struct kimage *image, void *arg) { } > #endif > > -int crash_check_update_elfcorehdr(void); > +int crash_check_hotplug_support(void); > > -#ifndef crash_hotplug_cpu_support > -static inline int crash_hotplug_cpu_support(void) { return 0; } > -#endif > +#ifndef arch_crash_hotplug_support > +static inline int arch_crash_hotplug_support(struct kimage *image, unsigned long kexec_flags) > +{ > > -#ifndef crash_hotplug_memory_support > -static inline int crash_hotplug_memory_support(void) { return 0; } > +#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE > + if (image->file_mode) > + return 1; > +#endif > + return kexec_flags & KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT; > +} > #endif > > #ifndef crash_get_elfcorehdr_size > diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/kexec.h b/include/uapi/linux/kexec.h > index c17bb096ea68..5ae1741ea8ea 100644 > --- a/include/uapi/linux/kexec.h > +++ b/include/uapi/linux/kexec.h > @@ -13,6 +13,7 @@ > #define KEXEC_ON_CRASH 0x00000001 > #define KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT 0x00000002 > #define KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR 0x00000004 > +#define KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT 0x00000008 > #define KEXEC_ARCH_MASK 0xffff0000 > > /* > diff --git a/kernel/crash_core.c b/kernel/crash_core.c > index ab1c8e79759d..111548ad03e9 100644 > --- a/kernel/crash_core.c > +++ b/kernel/crash_core.c > @@ -876,7 +876,7 @@ DEFINE_MUTEX(__crash_hotplug_lock); > * It reflects the kernel's ability/permission to update the crash > * elfcorehdr directly. > */ > -int crash_check_update_elfcorehdr(void) > +int crash_check_hotplug_support(void) > { > int rc = 0; > > @@ -888,10 +888,7 @@ int crash_check_update_elfcorehdr(void) > return 0; > } > if (kexec_crash_image) { > - if (kexec_crash_image->file_mode) > - rc = 1; > - else > - rc = kexec_crash_image->update_elfcorehdr; > + rc = kexec_crash_image->hotplug_support; > } > /* Release lock now that update complete */ > kexec_unlock(); > @@ -932,8 +929,8 @@ static void crash_handle_hotplug_event(unsigned int hp_action, unsigned int cpu, > > image = kexec_crash_image; > > - /* Check that updating elfcorehdr is permitted */ > - if (!(image->file_mode || image->update_elfcorehdr)) > + /* Check that kexec segments update is permitted */ > + if (!image->hotplug_support) > goto out; > > if (hp_action == KEXEC_CRASH_HP_ADD_CPU || > diff --git a/kernel/kexec.c b/kernel/kexec.c > index 8f35a5a42af8..9dc5b7ed5b73 100644 > --- a/kernel/kexec.c > +++ b/kernel/kexec.c > @@ -130,8 +130,8 @@ static int do_kexec_load(unsigned long entry, unsigned long nr_segments, > image->preserve_context = 1; > > #ifdef CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG > - if (flags & KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR) > - image->update_elfcorehdr = 1; > + if ((flags & KEXEC_ON_CRASH) && arch_crash_hotplug_support(image, flags)) > + image->hotplug_support = 1; > #endif > > ret = machine_kexec_prepare(image); > diff --git a/kernel/kexec_file.c b/kernel/kexec_file.c > index bef2f6f2571b..4dddf9264a69 100644 > --- a/kernel/kexec_file.c > +++ b/kernel/kexec_file.c > @@ -373,6 +373,11 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE5(kexec_file_load, int, kernel_fd, int, initrd_fd, > if (ret) > goto out; > > +#ifdef CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG > + if ((flags & KEXEC_FILE_ON_CRASH) && arch_crash_hotplug_support(image, flags)) > + image->hotplug_support = 1; > +#endif > + > ret = machine_kexec_prepare(image); > if (ret) > goto out; > -- > 2.41.0 > _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
