What kernel are you using? the version of kernel, and kexec-tools? If you are testing on the latest mainline kernel, you could meet the issue Dave have met and fixed in below patch: [PATCH] x86/kexec: do not update E820 kexec table for setup_data https://lore.kernel.org/all/zez2kos-oozns...@darkstar.users.ipa.redhat.com/T/#u Thanks Baoquan > > The crash_memory_range array will encounter incorrect address ranges: > CRASH MEMORY RANGES > 000000002d4fd058-0000000048ffffff (0) > 0000000053cbd000-0000000048ffffff (1) > 0000000059000000-0000000053ccffff (0) > > Read the code, I noticed that the get_crash_memory_ranges() function invokes > exclude_region() to handle the splitting of memory regions, but it seems > unable to properly handle the scenario described above. > The code logic is as follows: > ... > if (start < mend && end > mstart) { > if (start != mstart && end != mend) { > /* Split memory region */ > crash_memory_range[i].end = start - 1; > temp_region.start = end + 1; > temp_region.end = mend; > temp_region.type = RANGE_RAM; > tidx = i+1; > } else if (start != mstart) > crash_memory_range[i].end = start - 1; > else > crash_memory_range[i].start = end + 1; > } > ... > If start < mstart < mend < end, resulting in crash_memory_range[i].end > becoming less than crash_memory_range[i].start, leading to incorrect address > ranges. > I would like to know if this behavior is reasonable and whether it is > necessary to validate the address ranges for compliance at the end. > > Thank you for your time and assistance. > > Chen Haixiang > > _______________________________________________ > kexec mailing list > kexec@lists.infradead.org > http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec > _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
