On RISCV64 Qemu machine with 512MB memory, cmdline "crashkernel=500M,high"
will cause system stall as below:
Zone ranges:
DMA32 [mem 0x0000000080000000-0x000000009fffffff]
Normal empty
Movable zone start for each node
Early memory node ranges
node 0: [mem 0x0000000080000000-0x000000008005ffff]
node 0: [mem 0x0000000080060000-0x000000009fffffff]
Initmem setup node 0 [mem 0x0000000080000000-0x000000009fffffff]
(stall here)
commit 5d99cadf1568 ("crash: fix x86_32 crash memory reserve dead loop
bug") fix this on 32-bit architecture. However, the problem is not
completely solved. If `CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX = CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX` on
64-bit architecture, for example, when system memory is equal to
CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX on RISCV64, the following infinite loop will also
occur:
-> reserve_crashkernel_generic() and high is true
-> alloc at [CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX, CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX] fail
-> alloc at [0, CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX] fail and repeatedly
(because CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX = CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX).
As Catalin suggested, do not remove the ",high" reservation fallback to
",low" logic which will change arm64's kdump behavior, but fix it by
skipping the above situation similar to commit d2f32f23190b ("crash: fix
x86_32 crash memory reserve dead loop").
After this patch, it print:
cannot allocate crashkernel (size:0x1f400000)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
