Subject: Re: [PATCH v1 3/8] s390/kexec: Pass crashkernel CMA ranges to the kdump kernel
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 11:34:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-211026@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112112105.1169118-4-zaslonko@linux.ibm.com>
> Store the crashkernel CMA ranges in the parmarea of the kdump kernel,
> next to oldmem_base and oldmem_size, when it is loaded with
> kexec_file_load().
>
> The ranges use 64 of the 72 bytes of pad1, which is enough for the four
> ranges the generic code reserves at most. They are sorted by address
> and unused entries are zero. Older kernels ignore pad1 and kernel images
> have it zeroed, so old and new kernels still work together.

> For kexec_load(), kexec-tools would have to fill in the ranges. It can
> read them from /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_cma_ranges.
