kexec failures on ipq4019

kexec failures on ipq4019

[Andy Strohman]

Hi,

  I'm trying to get kexec to work consistently for ipq4019.  I load
the crash kernel like this:

kexec --type zImage -p zImage-initramfs
--dtb=image-qcom-ipq4019-eap1300.dtb --append="maxcpus=1
reset_devices" --image-size=34419456

  I have reserved 64MB of memory for the crash kernel with parameter:
crashkernel=64M

  This seems to work ~70% of the time. When it doesn't work, I see the
"bye!" message followed by a 5-10 second hang without output.  Then
the machine resets.

  I've been testing with:
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

  Does anyone have an idea of what may be causing the failures or how
to troubleshoot this?

  I'm using OpenWRT with kernel 4.14.37.   I added the following patch
in order to load the crash kernel:

--- a/arch/arm/mach-qcom/platsmp.c
+++ b/arch/arm/mach-qcom/platsmp.c

Hi Sricharan,

  Thanks for your response.  Did you get a chance to try this out?  If
so, were you able to reproduce?

   I have been trying to kexec while chroot'ing for a different reason.
   I did not observe a issue so far. But that is with a 4.4.60 openwrt kernel.
   Can you point me a link to the kernel that you are trying with ?
