arm64: kdump: Provide default size when crashkernel=Y,low is not specified
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2112877 Upstream Status: linux tree Tested: on ampere-mtjade-altra-03.khw4.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com commit a149cf0 Author: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@huawei.com> Date: Wed Nov 16 20:10:43 2022 +0800 arm64: kdump: Provide default size when crashkernel=Y,low is not specified Try to allocate at least 128 MiB low memory automatically for the case that crashkernel=,high is explicitly specified, while crashkenrel=,low is omitted. This allows users to focus more on the high memory requirements of their business rather than the low memory requirements of the crash kernel booting.
