[PATCH 1/2] x86/mm: Do not zap PMD entry mapping unaccepted memory table during kdump.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@xxxxxxx>

During crashkernel boot only pre-allocated crash memory is presented as
E820_TYPE_RAM. This can cause PMD entry mapping unaccepted memory table
to be zapped during phys_pmd_init() as SNP/TDX guest use E820_TYPE_ACPI
to store the unaccepted memory table and pass it between the kernels on
kexec/kdump.

E820_TYPE_ACPI covers not only ACPI data, but also EFI tables and might
be required by kernel to function properly.

The problem was discovered during debugging kdump for SNP guest. The
unaccepted memory table stored with E820_TYPE_ACPI and passed between
the kernels on kdump was getting zapped as the PMD entry mapping this
is above the E820_TYPE_RAM range for the reserved crashkernel memory.
