Subject: [PATCH v5 3/4] arm64: kexec: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservation
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 18:10:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260212101001.343158-4-ruanjinjie@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260212101001.343158-1-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.

Crash kernel memory reservation wastes production resources if too
large, risks kdump failure if too small, and faces allocation difficulties
on fragmented systems due to contiguous block constraints. The new
CMA-based crashkernel reservation scheme splits the "large fixed
reservation" into a "small fixed region + large CMA dynamic region": the
CMA memory is available to userspace during normal operation to avoid
waste, and is reclaimed for kdump upon crash—saving memory while
improving reliability.

So extend crashkernel CMA reservation support to arm64. 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
arm64 architecture.
