Do you have plan to pick this series so that it can be taken into 5.20
rc-1~3?

Hi, Catalin:
Only function reserve_crashkernel() is modified in these two patches. The core
process of the arm64 architecture is not affected. I remember you suggested that
arm64 and x86 share the same kdump code, so these two subfeatures are needed.
Maybe we can lay the foundation first for the people who build the road. Unifying
the external interfaces of kdump on arm64 and x86 does not seem to hurt.



We have back ported the basic crashkernel=high, low, support into our
distros and have taken wide testing on arm64 servers, need this patchset
to back port for more testing.


Hi ,

What is the progress of this series ?

Without this patch set we are seeing larger crashkernel=896M failures on
Arm with Linux-6.0.rc7. This larger value is needed for
iSCSI booted systems with certain network adapters.

This change is located in arch/arm64 folder, I have pinged arm64
maintainer to consider merging this patchset. Not sure if they are
still thinking, or ignore this.

Hi Catalin, Will,

Ping again!

Do you have plan to accept this patchset? It's very important fo
crashkernel setting on arm64 with a simple and default syntax.

Thanks
Baoquan

Hi,

We have pulled this into our Linux 6.0.0 QA test kernels for now. We would like it added too.

Thank you,

John
