Hi Dave and Kairui, thanks for your responses! OK, if that makes sense to you I'm fine with it. I'd just recommend to test recent kernels in multiple distros with the minimum "range" to see if 64M is enough for crashkernel, maybe we'd need to bump that. Cheers, Guilherme

[PATCH 1/1] kernel/crash_core.c - Add crashkernel=auto for x86 and ARM

This adds crashkernel=auto feature to configure reserved memory for vmcore creation to both x86 and ARM platforms based on the total memory size. Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: John Donnelly Signed-off-by: Saeed Mirzamohammadi --- Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst | 5 +
