Revision 94fb9334182284e8e7e4bcb9125c25dc33af19d4 authored by Joerg Roedel on 10 June 2015, 15:49:42 UTC, committed by Ingo Molnar on 11 June 2015, 06:28:39 UTC
When the crash kernel is loaded above 4GiB in memory, the
first kernel allocates only 72MiB of low-memory for the DMA
requirements of the second kernel. On systems with many
devices this is not enough and causes device driver
initialization errors and failed crash dumps. Testing by
SUSE and Redhat has shown that 256MiB is a good default
value for now and the discussion has lead to this value as
well. So set this default value to 256MiB to make sure there
is enough memory available for DMA.
