Subject: [PATCH v3 09/11] arm64: kdump: exclude non-dumpable reserved memory regions from vmcore
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 11:29:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260527032917.3385849-10-chenwandun1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260527032917.3385849-1-chenwandun1@gmail.com>
From: Wandun Chen <chenwandun@lixiang.com>
Reserved memory regions are excluded from vmcore by default unless
marked dumpable. Honor the dumpable flag to filter out device firmware
regions (e.g., GPU, DSP, modem) reserved via device tree, since they
typically contain data not useful for kernel crash analysis and can
significantly increase vmcore size.
Use of_reserved_mem_kdump_exclude() to perform the exclusion, and
pre-size the crash_mem array via of_reserved_mem_kdump_nr_ranges().
