Hi, [I’m resending this email as it failed to be sent to certain emails.]
And I think crashkernel=auto could be used as an indicator that user want the kernel to control the crashkernel size, so some further work could be done to adjust the crashkernel more accordingly. eg. when memory encryption is enabled, increase the crashkernel value for the auto estimation, as it's known to consume more crashkernel memory.
Thanks for the suggestion! I tried to keep it simple and leave it to the user to change Kconfig in case a different range is needed. Based on experience, these ranges work well for most of the regular cases.
But why not make it arch-independent? This crashkernel=auto idea should simply work with every arch.
Thanks! I’ll be making it arch-independent in the v2 patch.
I think this rounding may be better moved to the arch specified part where parse_crashkernel is called?
Thanks for the suggestion. Could you please elaborate why do we need to do that?
Thanks, Saeed
