If zone_dma_bits is 32, ZONE_DMA32 disappears into ZONE_DMA (GFP_DMA32 allocations fall back to ZONE_DMA). kdump wants DMA-able memory and, without a 30-bit ZONE_DMA, that would be the bottom 32-bit. With the introduction of ZONE_DMA, this suddenly became 1GB. We could change kdump to allocate ZONE_DMA32 but this one may also be small as it lost 1GB to ZONE_DMA. However, the kdump kernel would need to be rebuilt without ZONE_DMA since it won't have any. IIRC (it's been a while since I looked), the kdump allocation couldn't span multiple zones. In a separate thread, we try to fix kdump to use allocations above 4G as a fallback but this only fixes platforms with enough RAM (and maybe it's only those platforms that care about kdump). -- Catalin
