From c729de8fcea37a1c444e81857eace12494c804a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yinghai Lu Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 22:23:45 -0700 Subject: x86, kdump: Set crashkernel_low automatically Chao said that kdump does does work well on his system on 3.8 without extra parameter, even iommu does not work with kdump. And now have to append crashkernel_low=Y in first kernel to make kdump work. We have now modified crashkernel=X to allocate memory beyong 4G (if available) and do not allocate low range for crashkernel if the user does not specify that with crashkernel_low=Y. This causes regression if iommu is not enabled. Without iommu, swiotlb needs to be setup in first 4G and there is no low memory available to second kernel. Set crashkernel_low automatically if the user does not specify that. For system that does support IOMMU with kdump properly, user could specify crashkernel_low=0 to save that 72M low ram. -v3: add swiotlb_size() according to Konrad. -v4: add comments what 8M is for according to hpa. also update more crashkernel_low= in kernel-parameters.txt -v5: update changelog according to Vivek. -v6: Change description about swiotlb referring according to HATAYAMA.
