In that way, the benefits are that it avoids to consume and fragment limited low memory which satisfy DMA buffer allocation and big chunk of continuous memory during system init; and avoids to stir with BIOS/FW reserved or occupied areas, or corner case handling/work around/quirk occupied areas when doing system init. By the way, the top-down searching and loading of kexec-ed kernel is done in user space utility code. For kexec_file loading, even if kexec_buf.top_down is 'true', it's simply ignored. It calls walk_system_ram_res() directly to go through all resources of System RAM bottom up, to find an available memory region, then call locate_mem_hole_callback() to allocate memory in that found memory region from top to down. This is not expected and inconsistent with kexec_load. Here check if kexec_buf.top_down is 'true' in kexec_walk_resources(), if yes, call the newly added walk_system_ram_res_rev() to find memory region of system RAM from top to down to load kernel/initrd etc. Signed-off-by: Baoquan He --- kernel/kexec_file.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/kernel/kexec_file.c b/kernel/kexec_file.c index f9a419cd22d4..ba3ef30921b8 100644 --- a/kernel/kexec_file.c +++ b/kernel/kexec_file.c @@ -592,6 +592,8 @@ static int kexec_walk_resources(struct kexec_buf *kbuf, IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_BUSY, crashk_res.start, crashk_res.end, kbuf, func); + else if (kbuf->top_down) + return walk_system_ram_res_rev(0, ULONG_MAX, kbuf, func); else return walk_system_ram_res(0, ULONG_MAX, kbuf, func); }
