Sorry that I did not read the old thread details and thought that is arch dependent. But rethink about that, it would be better that we can have same semantic about crashkernel parameters across arches. If we make them different then it causes confusion, especially for distributions. OTOH, I thought if we reserve high memory then the low memory should be needed. There might be some exceptions, but I do not know the exact one, can we make the behavior same, and special case those systems which do not need low memory reservation. > > previous discusses: > https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/5/670 > https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/13/229 Another concern from James: " With both crashk_low_res and crashk_res, we end up with two entries in /proc/iomem called "Crash kernel". Because its sorted by address, and kexec-tools stops searching when it find "Crash kernel", you are always going to get the kernel placed in the lower portion. " The kexec-tools code is iterating all "Crash kernel" ranges and add them in an array.

IMHO, if we do not know why and in theory it should work with 2M, can you do some basic testing and move it to 2M? We can easily move back to 16M if someone really report something, but if we do not change it will always stay there but we do not know why. > > > > >> + > >> +int __init reserve_crashkernel_low(void) > >> +{ > >> +#if defined(CONFIG_X86_64) || defined(CONFIG_ARM64) > >> + unsigned long long base, low_base = 0, low_size = 0; > >> + unsigned long total_low_mem; > >> + int ret; > >> + > >> + total_low_mem = memblock_mem_size(1UL << (32 - PAGE_SHIFT)); > >> + > >> + /* crashkernel=Y,low */ > >> + ret = parse_crashkernel_low(boot_command_line, total_low_mem, &low_size, > >> + &base); > >> + if (ret) { > >> +#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64 > >> + /* > >> + * two parts from lib/swiotlb.c: > >> + * -swiotlb size: user-specified with swiotlb= or default. > >> + * > >> + * -swiotlb overflow buffer: now hardcoded to 32k.
