[PATCH v4 3/3] riscv: kdump: Fix crash memory reserve exceed system memory bug

There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH v4 3/3] riscv: kdump: Fix crash memory reserve exceed system memory bug
Posted by Jinjie Ruan 1 year, 4 months ago 
Similar with x86_32, on Riscv32 Qemu "virt" machine with 1GB memory, the
crash kernel "crashkernel=4G" is ok as below:
	crashkernel reserved: 0x00000000bf400000 - 0x00000001bf400000 (4096 MB)

The cause is that the crash_size is parsed and printed with "unsigned long
long" data type which is 8 bytes but allocated used with "phys_addr_t"
which is 4 bytes in memblock_phys_alloc_range().

Fix it by checking if the crash_size is greater than system RAM size and
warn out as parse_crashkernel_mem() do it if so.

After this patch, it fails and there is no above confusing reserve
success info.

What the point of adding three identical checks right after the call to
parse_crashkernel()?

This check should be there and parse_crashkernel() should return error in
this case.

Maybe you are right, the original version checks in parse_crashkernel
(), but there's a problem.

Thank you very much, I'll fix it like this in v5.
