Sounds reasonable, if find_early_table_space is ok then I also vote to
revert the s4 regression fix.

This reverts the following commit:
commit 8548c84da2f47e71bbbe300f55edb768492575f7
Author: Takashi Iwai

x86: Fix S4 regression
Commit 4b239f458 ("x86-64, mm: Put early page table high") causes a
S4
regression since 2.6.39, namely the machine reboots occasionally at
S4
resume. It doesn't happen always, overall rate is about 1/20. But,
like other bugs, once when this happens, it continues to happen.
This patch fixes the problem by essentially reverting the memory
assignment in the older way.
According to the previous discussion:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel=133161674120253=2
it seems that so far the best solution is just reverting it.
Takashi, could you help to test if the S4 regression is still
there after this patch?

Yeah, my result of bisect is as follows and at first I thought the
commit 722bc6 caused this regression.
722bc6b16771ed80871e1fd81c86d3627dda2ac8 is the first bad commit
commit 722bc6b16771ed80871e1fd81c86d3627dda2ac8
Author: WANG Cong
Date: Mon Mar 5 15:05:13 2012 -0800
IIUC, this commit just fixes a bug of counting pgtable entries. As the
result, another problem came up to the surface. In the case of my
machine(16GB memory), before applying 722bc6, find_early_table_space()
requests about 12KB free area and it can be got from 560K@64K area
luckily. I think the size find_early_table_space() requests was a bug.
After the bug is fixed by the commit 722bc6, find_early_table_space()
requires 1.8MB area and it fails as I wrote.

Re: [PATCH] x86: revert "x86: Fix S4 regression"
Hi Cong,
When I tested kdump with 3.5.0-rc6 kernel, I found a problem of kdump
kernel's panic in find_early_table_space().
init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x-0x36ffafff]
Kernel panic - not syncing: Cannot find space for the kernel page tables
Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.5.0-rc6 #17
Call Trace:
[] panic+0xb8/0x1c8
[] ? printk+0x48/0x4a
[] init_memory_mapping+0x46c/0x530
[] setup_arch+0x669/0xb0e
[] ? printk+0x48/0x4a
[] start_kernel+0x9b/0x34a
[] x86_64_start_reservations+0x131/0x136
[] x86_64_start_kernel+0xed/0xf4
In find_early_table_space(), a kernel tries to find free area below 512M
for pgtable using memblock_find_in_range, but it fails because kdump
kernel does not have enough free space below 512M due to the memmap
restriction. This is the memmap option specified against kdump kernel
when crashkernel=128M.
memmap=560K@64K memmap=130492K@770608K
Only 560KB area is available and it is not sufficient for pgtable (it
seems that about 1.8MB area is needed for pgtable). This problem is
fixed by your revert patch. I hope this patch gets merged.
Thanks,
Takao Indoh
