commit 62b3107073646e0946bd97ff926832bafb846d17 upstream. Patch series "Handle warning of allocation failure on DMA zone w/o managed pages", v4. **Problem observed: On x86_64, when crash is triggered and entering into kdump kernel, page allocation failure can always be seen. --------------------------------- DMA: preallocated 128 KiB GFP_KERNEL pool for atomic allocations swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:5, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0 CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x7f/0xa1 warn_alloc.cold+0x72/0xd6 ...... __alloc_pages+0x24d/0x2c0 ...... dma_atomic_pool_init+0xdb/0x176 do_one_initcall+0x67/0x320 ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x3f/0x80 kernel_init_freeable+0x290/0x2dc ? rest_init+0x24f/0x24f kernel_init+0xa/0x111 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 Mem-Info: ------------------------------------ ***Root cause: In the current kernel, it assumes that DMA zone must have managed pages and try to request pages if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. While this is not always true. E.g in kdump kernel of x86_64, only low 1M is presented and locked down at very early stage of boot, so that this low 1M won't be added into buddy allocator to become managed pages of DMA zone. This exception will always cause page allocation failure if page is requested from DMA zone. ***Investigation: This failure happens since below commit merged into linus's tree. 1a6a9044b967 x86/setup: Remove CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW and reservelow= options 23721c8e92f7 x86/crash: Remove crash_reserve_low_1M() f1d4d47c5851 x86/setup: Always reserve the first 1M of RAM |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
