Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot: Fix kdump, cleanup aborted E820_PRAM max_pfn
|
||
|
manipulation
|
||
|
|
||
|
commit 917db484dc6a69969d317b3e57add4208a8d9d42 upstream.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In commit:
|
||
|
|
||
|
ec776ef6bbe1 ("x86/mm: Add support for the non-standard protected e820 type")
|
||
|
|
||
|
Christoph references the original patch I wrote implementing pmem support.
|
||
|
The intent of the 'max_pfn' changes in that commit were to enable persistent
|
||
|
memory ranges to be covered by the struct page memmap by default.
|
||
|
|
||
|
However, that approach was abandoned when Christoph ported the patches [1], and
|
||
|
that functionality has since been replaced by devm_memremap_pages().
|
||
|
|
||
|
In the meantime, this max_pfn manipulation is confusing kdump [2] that
|
||
|
assumes that everything covered by the max_pfn is "System RAM". This
|
||
|
results in kdump hanging or crashing.

|

|
|
||
|
So fix it.
