Sure, but keep in mind that it will be tech preview and is similarly enabled already in Fedora. However, you remind me of an interesting case: kdump and CMA reservations We would be in trouble if we were to automatically create big CMA regions in the kdump kernel (where we have limited memory), either from the kernel, like with CMA_SIZE_MBYTES, or via cmdline, like "cmd=2G". While often such allocations attempts will fail and still allow the kdump kernel to boot, there can be cases where it will "just work" and kdump itself might later because it doesn't have sufficient memory available. Fortunately, on x86-64 we we have CMA_SIZE_MBYTES set to 0 MiB and our kdump kernel won't be booted with any "cma=", "hugetlb_cma=" parameters that might have been specified for the !kdump kernel. So there, we seem to be fine. On s390x, we reserve as default a CMA region with 4 MiB. On ppc64 with HV support, we reserve as default a CMA region with 5% of the memblock_phys_mem_size() for KVM use; We might want to disable the latter via is_kdump_kernel() upstream. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
