Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] powerpc/fadump: Do not allow hot-remove memory from fadump reserved area.
Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2018 09:28:32 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <152229591007.24399.16964724185802808481.stgit@jupiter.in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <152229586004.24399.4092811524123468871.stgit@jupiter.in.ibm.com>
From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
For fadump to work successfully there should not be any holes in reserved
memory ranges where kernel has asked firmware to move the content of old
kernel memory in event of crash. But this memory area is currently not
protected from hot-remove operations. Hence, fadump service can fail to
re-register after the hot-remove operation, if hot-removed memory belongs
to fadump reserved region. To avoid this make sure that memory from fadump
reserved area is not hot-removable if fadump is registered.
However, if user still wants to remove that memory, he can do so by
manually stopping fadump service before hot-remove operation.
