To follow up on this:
I am able to use memremap() to map the previous kernel's allocated CWB buffers and try to reuse the same CWB buffers in the
kdump kernel, obviously, memremap() does not return a direct pointer to kernel directmap as the previous kernel's CWB buffers
will be in a RAM address which is not directly mapped into kdump kernel's directmap.
And these memremap() mappings seem to be correct, because if i do a memset(0) on these, i get a RMP #PF violation due
to these buffers being setup as RO in the RMP table, so that means that memremap() seems to have done the mapping correctly.
I am getting inconsistent IOMMU command completion wait timeout's with these reused CWB buffers (which are used as
semaphores to indicate IOMMU command completions) and i am still debugging those issues.
Thanks,
Ashish
