-Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1507353
-Build: https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=16534135
-Tested: ppc64le, x86_64 with several memory sizes.
-
-The total memory size we get in kernel is usually slightly less than 2G with
-2G memory module machine. The main reason is bios/firmware reserve some area
-it will not export all memory as usable to Linux.
-
-2G memory X86 kvm guest test result of the total_mem value:
-UEFI boot with ovmf: 0x7ef10000
-Legacy boot kvm guest: 0x7ff7cc00
-This is also a problem on arm64 UEFI booted system according to my test.
-
-Thus for example crashkernel=1G-2G:128M, if we have a 1G memory
-machine, we get total size 1023M from firmware then it will not fall
-into 1G-2G thus no memory reserved. User will never know that, it is
-hard to let user to know the exact total value we get in kernel
-
-An option is to use dmi/smbios to get physical memory size, but it's not
-reliable as well. According to Prarit hardware vendors sometimes screw this up.
-Thus round up total size to 128M to workaround this problem.
-
-Posted below patch in upstream, but no response yet:
