Subject: [PATCH 6.6 77/86] crash: fix crashkernel resource shrink
Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2025 15:46:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251127144030.642475246@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251127144027.800761504@linuxfoundation.org>
6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sourabh Jain <sourabhjain@linux.ibm.com>
[ Upstream commit 00fbff75c5acb4755f06f08bd1071879c63940c5 ]
When crashkernel is configured with a high reservation, shrinking its
value below the low crashkernel reservation causes two issues:
1. Invalid crashkernel resource objects
2. Kernel crash if crashkernel shrinking is done twice
For example, with crashkernel=200M,high, the kernel reserves 200MB of high
memory and some default low memory (say 256MB). The reservation appears
as:
cat /proc/iomem | grep -i crash
af000000-beffffff : Crash kernel
433000000-43f7fffff : Crash kernel
If crashkernel is then shrunk to 50MB (echo 52428800 >
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size), /proc/iomem still shows 256MB reserved:
af000000-beffffff : Crash kernel
Instead, it should show 50MB:
af000000-b21fffff : Crash kernel
Further shrinking crashkernel to 40MB causes a kernel crash with the
following trace (x86):
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038
PGD 0 P4D 0

<snip...>
This happens because __crash_shrink_memory()/kernel/crash_core.c
incorrectly updates the crashk_res resource object even when
crashk_low_res should be updated.
Fix this by ensuring the correct crashkernel resource object is updated
when shrinking crashkernel memory.
