Can we pass v (memory_notify) argument to arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event 
function
via handle_hotplug_event?

Because the way memory hotplug is handled on PowerPC, it is hard to update the 
elfcorehdr
without memory_notify args.

On PowePC memblock data structure is used to prepare elfcorehdr for kdump. 
Since the notifier
used for memory hotplug crash handler get initiated before the memblock data 
structure update
happens (as depicted below), the newly prepared elfcorehdr still holds the old 
memory regions.
So if the system crash with obsolete elfcorehdr, makedumpfile failed to collect 
vmcore.

Sequence of actions done on PowerPC to server the memory hotplug:

   Initiate memory hot remove
    |
    v
   offline pages
    |
    v
   initiate memory notify call chain
   for MEM_OFFLINE event.
   (same is used for crash update)
    |
    v
   prepare new elfcorehdr for kdump using
   memblock data structure
    |
    v
   update memblock data structure

How passing memory_notify to arch crash hotplug handler will help?

memory_notify holds the start PFN and page count, with that we can get
the base address and size of hot unplugged memory and can use the same
to avoid hot unplugged memeory region to get added in the elfcorehdr..

Thanks,
Sourabh Jain


Sourabh, let's see what Baoquan thinks.

Baoquan, are you OK with this request? I once had these parameters to the
crash hotplug handler and since they were unused at the time, you asked
that I remove them, which I did.

Sorry to miss this mail. I thought both of you were talking about
somthing, and didn't notice this question to me.

I think there are two ways to solve the issue Sourabh raised:
1) make handle_hotplug_event() get and pass down the memory_notify as
Sourabh said, or the hp_action, mem_start|size as Eric suggested. I
have to admit I haven't carefully checked which one is better.

2) let the current code as is since it's aiming at x86 only. Later
Sourabh can modify code according to his need on ppc. This can give

Do we really need elfcorehdr_index_valid to decide elfcorehdr_index holds a 
valid index?

No, as you point out you can overload the index value itself.
(In fact I originally went this route but encountered trouble
with locating the proper locations to place the initialization code).

However, the current approach has the advantage that it is
automatically zero'd and thus set to its correct (false) setting
immediatley upon kexec load without any additional code. As the
diff you have below indicates, there are several sites that need
to set the index to its false (-1) value to accomplish the same.

I prefer the index_valid approach, but if there is strong support
for overloading the index, then it can be changed.

How about initializing elfcorehdr_index to a negative number while loading kdump kernel (or kexec 
kernel if needed)
for both kexec_load and kexec_file_load case and consider that as invalid index to find the correct 
one.

Do we really need elfcorehdr_index_valid to decide elfcorehdr_index 
holds a valid index?


How about initializing elfcorehdr_index to a negative number while 
loading kdump kernel (or kexec kernel if needed)
for both kexec_load and kexec_file_load case and consider that as 
invalid index to find the correct one.


Some thing like this:

[PATCH v12 3/7] crash: add generic infrastructure for crash hotplug support

2022-09-09 Thread Eric DeVolder
CPU and memory change notifications are received in order to
regenerate the elfcorehdr.

To support cpu hotplug, a callback is registered to capture the
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN online and offline events via
cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls().

To support memory hotplug, a notifier is registered to capture the
MEM_ONLINE and MEM_OFFLINE events via register_memory_notifier().

The cpu callback and memory notifiers call handle_hotplug_event()
which performs needed tasks and then dispatches the event to the
architecture specific arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event(). During the
process, the kexec_mutex is held.
