Xishi Qiu 797f6a684f Add size restriction to the kdump documentation ... In efi_init() memory aligns in IA64_GRANULE_SIZE(16M). If set "crashkernel=1024M-:600M" and use sparse memory model, when crash kernel booting it changes [128M-728M] to [128M-720M]. But initrd memory is in [709M-727M], and virt_addr_valid() *can not* check the invalid pages when freeing initrd memory, because there are some pages missed at the end of the section, and this causes error. ...

In "http://marc.info/?l=linux-arch&m=136147092429314&w=2" Tony said: "Perhaps in Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt (which the crashkernel entry in kernel-parameters.txt points at). The ia64 section of kdump.txt notes that the start address will be rounded up to a GRANULE boundary, but doesn't talk about restrictions on the size." This patch add size restriction to the documentation of kdump. Signed-off-by: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>		2013-04-02 09:40:03 -07:00
