SubjectRe: [PATCH] x86: revert "x86: Fix S4 regression"
Hi Cong,

When I tested kdump with 3.5.0-rc6 kernel, I found a problem of kdump
kernel's panic in find_early_table_space().

init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x00000000-0x36ffafff]
Kernel panic - not syncing: Cannot find space for the kernel page tables
Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.5.0-rc6 #17
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff8158549b>] panic+0xb8/0x1c8
[<ffffffff8158565d>] ? printk+0x48/0x4a
[<ffffffff8157304c>] init_memory_mapping+0x46c/0x530
[<ffffffff818a73c7>] setup_arch+0x669/0xb0e

[<ffffffff818a341f>] x86_64_start_kernel+0xed/0xf4

In find_early_table_space(), a kernel tries to find free area below 512M
for pgtable using memblock_find_in_range, but it fails because kdump
kernel does not have enough free space below 512M due to the memmap
restriction. This is the memmap option specified against kdump kernel
when crashkernel=128M.

memmap=560K@64K memmap=130492K@770608K

Only 560KB area is available and it is not sufficient for pgtable (it
seems that about 1.8MB area is needed for pgtable). This problem is
fixed by your revert patch. I hope this patch gets merged.

Thanks,
Takao Indoh
