This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled arm64: Force NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS if crashkernel reservation is required to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: arm64-force-no_block_mappings-if-crashkernel-reservation-is-required.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 2687275a5843d1089687f08fc64eb3f3b026a169 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2020 17:55:56 +0000 Subject: arm64: Force NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS if crashkernel reservation is required From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> commit 2687275a5843d1089687f08fc64eb3f3b026a169 upstream. mem_init() currently relies on knowing the boundaries of the crashkernel reservation to map such region with page granularity for later unmapping via set_memory_valid(..., 0). If the crashkernel reservation is deferred, such boundaries are not known when the linear mapping is created. Simply parse the command line for "crashkernel" and, if found, create the linear map with NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS.
