From fc546faa559538fb312c77e055243ece18ab3288 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sourabh Jain sourabhjain@linux.ibm.com Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2023 08:36:15 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/kexec_file: Count hot-pluggable memory in FDT estimate
On Systems where online memory is lesser compared to max memory, the kexec_file_load system call may fail to load the kdump kernel with the below errors:
"Failed to update fdt with linux,drconf-usable-memory property" "Error setting up usable-memory property for kdump kernel"
This happens because the size estimation for usable memory properties for the kdump kernel's FDT is based on the online memory whereas the usable memory properties include max memory. In short, the hot-pluggable memory is not accounted for while estimating the size of the usable memory properties.
The issue is addressed by calculating usable memory property size using max hotplug address instead of the last online memory address.
