Subject: [PATCH 4/7] powerpc/32: Allow to ioremap RAM addresses for kdump kernel
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2008 23:09:10 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081217200910.GD4624@oksana.dev.rtsoft.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081217200610.GA31887@oksana.dev.rtsoft.ru>
While for debugging it is good to catch bogus users of ioremap,
though for kdump support it is more convenient to use ioremap for
copy_oldmem_page() (exactly as we do for PPC64 currently).
Note that copy_oldmem_page() calls __ioremap with flags set to '0',
so it should be safe with the regard to the caches.
The other option is to use kmap_atomic_pfn()[1], but it will not work
for kernels compiled without HIGHMEM.
That is, on a board with 256MB RAM and crashkernel=64M@32M case, the
!HIGHMEM capturing kernel maps 0-96M range, which does not include all
the memory needed to capture the dump. And, obviously, accessing
anything upper than 96M will cause faults.
