Ok, Thanks for your reminder.
I will adjust these patches and post again.

Thanks.

Lianbo, since Bjorn has fixed the resource issue in another patchset,
can you rebase your patch 2 and 3 on top of his patches and resend?

[PATCH 0/3 v3] add reserved e820 ranges to the kdump kernel e820 table

2018-09-21 Thread Lianbo Jiang
E820 reserved ranges is useful in kdump kernel, we have added this in
kexec-tools code.

One reason is PCI mmconf (extended mode) requires reserved region otherwise
it falls back to legacy mode.

Furthermore, when AMD SME kdump support, it needs to map dmi table area as
unencrypted. For normal boot, these ranges sit in e820 reserved ranges,
thus the early ioremap code naturally map them as unencrypted. If we also
have same e820 reserve setup in kdump kernel then it will just work like
normal kernel.

Kdump uses walk_iomem_res_desc to iterate resources, then adds matched desc
to e820 table for the kdump kernel.

But IORES_DESC_NONE resource type includes several different e820 types, we
need add exact e820 type to the kdump kernel e820 table, thus it also needs
an extra checking in memmap_entry_callback() to match the e820 type and
resource name.

By the way, we also fix an error which walks through iomem resources, the
values of the function parameter may be modified in the while loop of
__walk_iomem_res_desc(), which will cause us to not get the desired result
in some cases.

Changes since v2:
1. Modified the value of flags to "0", when walking through the whole
tree for e820 reserved ranges.
2. Modified the invalid SOB chain issue.

Lianbo Jiang (3):
  resource: fix an error which walks through iomem resources
  x86/kexec_file: add e820 entry in case e820 type string matches to io
resource name
  x86/kexec_file: add reserved e820 ranges to kdump kernel e820 table
