[PATCH] x86, memblock: Fix crashkernel allocation

Cai Qian found that crashkernel is broken with x86 memblock changes
1. crashkernel=128M@32M always reported that range is used, even first kernel is small
   no one use that range
2. always get following report when using "kexec -p"
	Could not find a free area of memory of a000 bytes...
	locate_hole failed

The root cause is that generic memblock_find_in_range() will try to get range from top_down.
But crashkernel do need from low and specified range.

Let's limit the target range with rash_base + crash_size to make sure that
We get range from bottom.

After manually applied the patch on the top of the latest mmotm tree, now there was no /proc/vmcore exported to the second kernel anymore. It could be the results of other recent commits in mmotm though. It said,

Warning: Core image elf header is notsane
Kdump: vmcore not initialized

Here is the dmesg from the second kernel,

After manually applied the patch on the top of the latest mmotm tree, now there was no /proc/vmcore exported to the second kernel anymore. It could be the results of other recent commits in mmotm though. It said,

Warning: Core image elf header is notsane
Kdump: vmcore not initialized

Here is the dmesg from the second kernel,

with
/etc/init.d/kdump restart

BTW, second kernel is not supposed to take crashkernel=128M again.
/etc/init.d/kdump scripts remove that while using /proc/cmdline.

[PATCH -v2] x86, memblock: Fix crashkernel allocation

Cai Qian found crashkernel is broken with x86 memblock changes
1. crashkernel=128M@32M always reported that range is used, even first kernel is small
   no one use that range
2. always get following report when using "kexec -p"
	Could not find a free area of memory of a000 bytes...
	locate_hole failed

The root cause is that generic memblock_find_in_range() will try to get range from top_down.
But crashkernel do need from low and specified range.

Let's limit the target range with rash_base + crash_size to make sure that
We get range from bottom.

-v2: don't limit it with 0xffffffff, in case kexec will use bzImage 64bit entry or vmlinux,
     and try to allocate huge area for crashkernel.

Open-coded crap violation error!

Seriously, these kinds of open-coded loops are *never* acceptable, since
they are really "let's violate the interface by making it do something
it wasn't intended to do" -- it means we need a new interface.

Alternatively, if we really need the lowest possible address, why do we
need to search?

x86 own version for find_area?

Subject: [PATCH] x86, memblock: Add x86 version of memblock_find_in_range()

Generic version is going from high to low, and it seems it can not find
right area compact enough.

the x86 version will go from goal to limit and just like the way We used
for early_res

use ARCH_FIND_MEMBLOCK_AREA to select from them.

No, double no.

Same kind of crap: overloading an interface with semantics it shouldn't
have.  The right thing is to introduce a new interface with carries the
explicitly needed policy with it... e.g. memblock_find_in_range_lowest().

That interface would have the explicit semantics of returning the lowest
possible address, as opposed to any suitable address (which may change
if policy requirements change.)

The other question is why does kexec need this in the first place?  Is
this due to a design bug in kexec or is there some fundamental reason
for this?

bzImage is used here. so need range below 4g.

OK, so why don't you cap the range to 4 GiB and then pass that down to
the existing interface?  That's different from "lowest possible address".

but if later bzImage will use 64 entry and kexec honor it, or use 64bit vmlinux directly.
and crashkernel=4096M, we could get failure again.

maybe something like this, will give it a try, hope kexec doesn't have other limitation.

[PATCH -v3] x86, memblock: Fix crashkernel allocation

Cai Qian found crashkernel is broken with x86 memblock changes
1. crashkernel=128M@32M always reported that range is used, even first kernel is small
   no one use that range
2. always get following report when using "kexec -p"
	Could not find a free area of memory of a000 bytes...
	locate_hole failed

The root cause is that generic memblock_find_in_range() will try to get range from top_down.
But crashkernel do need from low and specified range.

Let's limit the target range with rash_base + crash_size to make sure that
We get range from bottom.

-v3: don't use loop for find low one

Actually, hardcoding the upper limit to 4G is probably not the best idea.
Kexec loads the the relocatable binary (purgatory) and I remember that
one of the generated relocation type was signed 32 bit and allowed max value
to be 2G only. So IIRC, purgatory code always needed to be loaded below 2G.

I liked HPA's other idea better of introducing memblock_find_in_range_lowest() 
so that we search bottom up and not rely on a specific upper limit.

Please check.

[PATCH -v4] x86, memblock: Fix crashkernel allocation

Cai Qian found crashkernel is broken with x86 memblock changes
1. crashkernel=128M@32M always reported that range is used, even first kernel is small
   no one use that range
2. always get following report when using "kexec -p"
        Could not find a free area of memory of a000 bytes...
        locate_hole failed

The root cause is that generic memblock_find_in_range() will try to get range from top_down.
But crashkernel do need from low and specified range.

Let's limit the target range with rash_base + crash_size to make sure that
We get range from bottom.

-v4: add find_memblock_find_in_range_lowest() according to hpa and vivik.

[PATCH -v4] x86, memblock: Fix crashkernel allocation

Cai Qian found crashkernel is broken with x86 memblock changes
1. crashkernel=128M@32M always reported that range is used, even first kernel is small
   no one use that range
2. always get following report when using "kexec -p"
        Could not find a free area of memory of a000 bytes...
        locate_hole failed

The root cause is that generic memblock_find_in_range() will try to get range from top_down.
But crashkernel do need from low and specified range.

Let's limit the target range with rash_base + crash_size to make sure that
We get range from bottom.

-v4: add find_memblock_find_in_range_lowest() according to hpa and vivik.

No, it's just another crappy hack which is broken in the same way.  It's
better than open-coding, but it's still a hack.

The Right Thing[TM] to do is for kexec to communicate the topmost
address it wants to this code, so it has both the upper and the lower
boundaries available to it instead of just one.

IMHO, these kind of hardcodings are worse than finding the lowest possible
address. It is assuming that kexec is going to load a bzImage.

So we have following three options sorted from best to worst.

- Specify upper limit in "crashkernel=" command line syntax
- Find the lowest possible address for crashkernel reservations
- Hardcode upper limit based on certain factors.

Because upper limit depends on image being loaded and can also vary as
kexec-tools changes, knowing it for sure will require extra reboot. It
also make command line syntax more complicated as we need to introduce
another field to speciy upper limit. Especially for the following case.

crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset]

So personally I think we can stick to second best option and that is
finding the lowest possible memory area.

Thanks
Vivek

IMHO, these kind of hardcodings are worse than finding the lowest possible
address. It is assuming that kexec is going to load a bzImage.

So we have following three options sorted from best to worst.

- Specify upper limit in "crashkernel=" command line syntax
- Find the lowest possible address for crashkernel reservations
- Hardcode upper limit based on certain factors.

Because upper limit depends on image being loaded and can also vary as
kexec-tools changes, knowing it for sure will require extra reboot. It
also make command line syntax more complicated as we need to introduce
another field to speciy upper limit. Especially for the following case.

crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset]

So personally I think we can stick to second best option and that is
finding the lowest possible memory area.

Being able to specify the upper limit would be the best thing so that
kernel does not have to make any assumptions or hardcode anything.

Question is how to determine the upper limit.

- The upper limit will depend on what is being loaded in reserved region.
  Reserving memory using crashkernel= is a boot time optin and that point
  of time kexec has not even run. So we don't know what is the upper
  limit.

  Now we can do extra reboot to make it happen. Boot first kernel without
  reserving any memory. Introduce an option in kexec which tells user what
  are the segments kexec would like to load (for a given binary) and what
  are there upper memory limits and then user goes ahead modifies the
  command line and reboots the kernel back.

  This all sounds not so clean. Especially upper limit might change based
  on binary being loaded and a user might have to perform a reboot again.

So to me trying to get lowest memory available possible for crashkernel
reservations is not that a bad idea. It is certainly better than making
hardcoded assumptions about the upper limit.

Vivek

looks like you need to update your kexec-tools package.

please run following scripts in first kernel.

cd /sys/firmware/memmap
for dir in * ; do
  start=$(cat $dir/start)
  end=$(cat $dir/end)
  type=$(cat $dir/type)
  printf "%016x-%016x (%s)\n" $start $[ $end +1] "$type"
done

also enable kexec debug to see what memmap kexec parse.

yes, default memblock find_range is top_down.

old early_res is from bottom_up.

during the convecting, we do have one x86 find_range from bottom_up, but later
it seems top_down was working on all test cases. ( 32bit etc)

Subject: [PATCH] x86, memblock: Add x86 version of memblock_find_in_range()

Generic version is going from high to low, and it seems it can not find
right area compact enough.

the x86 version will go from goal to limit and just like the way We used
for early_res

use ARCH_FIND_MEMBLOCK_AREA to select from them.

memblock could merge reserved area, so can not keep tags with it.

I have local patchset that could print those name tags...
please check

memblock could merge reserved area, so can not keep tags with it.

I have local patchset that could print those name tags...

    x86, memblock: Replace e820_/_early string with memblock_
    
    1.include linux/memblock.h directly. so later could reduce e820.h reference.
    2 this patch is done by sed scripts mainly
    
    -v2: use MEMBLOCK_ERROR instead of -1ULL or -1UL

    x86, memblock: Replace e820_/_early string with memblock_
    
    1.include linux/memblock.h directly. so later could reduce e820.h reference.
    2 this patch is done by sed scripts mainly
    
    -v2: use MEMBLOCK_ERROR instead of -1ULL or -1UL
