I rethink it, the default value of default_nslabs is IO_TLB_DEFAULT_SIZE=64M. The value of default_nslabs can only be changed by swiotlb_adjust_size() and bootup command line option "swiotlb=". Currently, swiotlb_adjust_size() is invoked only on x86, so I can just ignore it on arm64. Then, 64M is much smaller than 256M, the first kernel works fine with the default 64M on arm64, and I don't think the second kernel needs to grow to 256M. Therefore, I think swiotlb_adjust_size() is probably a pseudo requirement for arm64. So I will directly use 256M on arm64. If anyone gets into trouble, he/she can add it back. Besides, there is also "crashkernel=Y,low" can be used. > > > diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/setup.c b/arch/x86/kernel/setup.c > index e04f5e6eb33f453..da485ee51a9929e 100644 > --- a/arch/x86/kernel/setup.c > +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/setup.c > @@ -428,16 +428,7 @@ static int __init reserve_crashkernel_low(void) > /* crashkernel=Y,low */ > ret = parse_crashkernel_low(boot_command_line, low_mem_limit, &low_size, &base); > if (ret) { > - /* > - * two parts from kernel/dma/swiotlb.c: > - * -swiotlb size: user-specified with swiotlb= or default. > - * > - * -swiotlb overflow buffer: now hardcoded to 32k.
