Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] riscv: kexec: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservation
Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2026 17:37:28 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260204093728.1447527-4-ruanjinjie@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260204093728.1447527-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com>
Commit 35c18f2933c5 ("Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the
crashkernel= command line option") and commit ab475510e042 ("kdump:
implement reserve_crashkernel_cma") added CMA support for kdump
crashkernel reservation. This allows the kernel to dynamically allocate
contiguous memory for crash dumping when needed, rather than permanently
reserving a fixed region at boot time.
So extend crashkernel CMA reservation support to riscv. The following
changes are made to enable CMA reservation:
- Parse and obtain the CMA reservation size along with other crashkernel
parameters.
- Call reserve_crashkernel_cma() to allocate the CMA region for kdump.
- Include the CMA-reserved ranges for kdump kernel to use.
- Exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the crash kernel memory to
prevent them from being exported through /proc/vmcore, which is already
done in the crash core.
Update kernel-parameters.txt to document CMA support for crashkernel on
riscv architecture.

A standard crashkernel reservation, as described above,
is still needed to hold the crash kernel and initrd.
