Why these are corner cases? The case when CONFIG_ZONE_DMA or CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 are disabled is the simplest one because it does not require the whole dancing around arm64_dma_phys_limit initialization. And AFAIK, memblock_start_of_DRAM() > 4G is not uncommon on arm64, but it does not matter for device DMA addressing. The actual corner cases are systems with ZONE_DMA/DMA32 and with <32 bits limit for device DMA addressing (e.g RPi 4). I think the changelog should mention that to use kdump on these devices user must specify crashkernel=X@Y > 2) CONFIG_ZONE_DMA or CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 are enabled: > limit = 4G (generic case) > > [1] > https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/T/#u > > Signed-off-by: Baoquan He <[email protected]> > --- > arch/arm64/mm/init.c | 24 ++++++++++++++---------- > arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++---------------- > 2 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/arch/arm64/mm/init.c b/arch/arm64/mm/init.c > index b9af30be813e..8ae55afdd11c 100644 > --- a/arch/arm64/mm/init.c > +++ b/arch/arm64/mm/init.c > @@ -90,10 +90,22 @@ phys_addr_t __ro_after_init arm64_dma_phys_limit; > phys_addr_t __ro_after_init arm64_dma_phys_limit = PHYS_MASK + 1; > #endif Please also update the comment above this hunk. > +static phys_addr_t __init crash_addr_low_max(void) > +{ > + phys_addr_t low_mem_mask = U32_MAX; > + phys_addr_t phys_start = memblock_start_of_DRAM(); > + > + if ((!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ZONE_DMA) && !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32)) || > + (phys_start > U32_MAX)) > + low_mem_mask = PHYS_ADDR_MAX; > + > + return min(low_mem_mask, memblock_end_of_DRAM() - 1) + 1; Since RAM frequently starts on non-zero address the limit for systems with ZONE_DMA/DMA32 should be memblock_start_of_DRAM() + 4G. There is no need to take into the account the end of DRAM, memblock allocation will take care of that. I'd suggest to simplify crash_addr_low_max() to be static phys_addr_t __init crash_addr_low_max(void) { if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ZONE_DMA) || IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32)) return memblock_start_of_DRAM() + SZ_4G; return PHYS_ADDR_MAX; } > +} > + > /* Current arm64 boot protocol requires 2MB alignment */ > #define CRASH_ALIGN SZ_2M > > -#define CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX arm64_dma_phys_limit > +#define CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX crash_addr_low_max() With introduction of crash_addr_low_max() I think it's better to get rid of the CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX and use local variables in reserve_crashkernel() and reserve_crashkernel_low() that would get initialized to crash_addr_low_max(). Besides, #ifdef around arm64_dma_phys_limit declaration can go away because this variable will be used only after it is initialized in zone_sizes_init(). > #define CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX (PHYS_MASK + 1) > > static int __init reserve_crashkernel_low(unsigned long long low_size) > @@ -389,8 +401,7 @@ void __init arm64_memblock_init(void) > > early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem(); > > - if (!defer_reserve_crashkernel()) > - reserve_crashkernel(); > + reserve_crashkernel(); > > high_memory = __va(memblock_end_of_DRAM() - 1) + 1; > } > @@ -434,13 +445,6 @@ void __init bootmem_init(void) > */ > dma_contiguous_reserve(arm64_dma_phys_limit); > > - /* > - * request_standard_resources() depends on crashkernel's memory being > - * reserved, so do it here. > - */ > - if (defer_reserve_crashkernel()) > - reserve_crashkernel(); > - > memblock_dump_all(); > } > > diff --git a/arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c b/arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c > index e7ad44585f40..cdd338fa2115 100644 > --- a/arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c > +++ b/arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c > @@ -547,13 +547,12 @@ static void __init map_mem(pgd_t *pgdp) > memblock_mark_nomap(kernel_start, kernel_end - kernel_start); > > #ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE > - if (crash_mem_map) { > - if (defer_reserve_crashkernel()) > - flags |= NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS | NO_CONT_MAPPINGS; > - else if (crashk_res.end) > - memblock_mark_nomap(crashk_res.start, > - resource_size(&crashk_res)); > - } > + if (crashk_res.end) > + memblock_mark_nomap(crashk_res.start, > + resource_size(&crashk_res)); > + if (crashk_low_res.end) > + memblock_mark_nomap(crashk_low_res.start, > + resource_size(&crashk_low_res)); > #endif > > /* map all the memory banks */ > @@ -589,16 +588,23 @@ static void __init map_mem(pgd_t *pgdp) > * through /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size interface. > */ > #ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE > - if (crash_mem_map && !defer_reserve_crashkernel()) { > - if (crashk_res.end) { > - __map_memblock(pgdp, crashk_res.start, > - crashk_res.end + 1, > - PAGE_KERNEL, > - NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS | NO_CONT_MAPPINGS); > - memblock_clear_nomap(crashk_res.start, > - resource_size(&crashk_res)); > - } > + if (crashk_res.end) { > + __map_memblock(pgdp, crashk_res.start, > + crashk_res.end + 1, > + PAGE_KERNEL, > + NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS | NO_CONT_MAPPINGS); > + memblock_clear_nomap(crashk_res.start, > + resource_size(&crashk_res)); > } > + if (crashk_low_res.end) { > + __map_memblock(pgdp, crashk_low_res.start, > + crashk_low_res.end + 1, > + PAGE_KERNEL, > + NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS | NO_CONT_MAPPINGS); > + memblock_clear_nomap(crashk_low_res.start, > + resource_size(&crashk_low_res)); > + } > + > #endif > } > > -- > 2.34.1 > > -- Sincerely yours, Mike. _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
