Subject: [PATCH v1 0/3] Reducing memory usage of i40e for kdump
Currently, i40e consumes lots of memory and causes the failure of kdump.
After reducing the allocation of tx/rx/arg/asq ring buffers to the
minimum, the memory consumption is significantly reduced,
- x86_64: 85.1MB to 1.2MB
- POWER9: 15368.5MB to 20.8MB
After applying this patch set, we can still achieve 100MB+/s network
speed which I think is limited by the net link (1000Mb/s) and this is
sufficient for kdump.
Note that if the i40e NIC supports iWarp, i40iw maybe automatically be
loaded to allocate RDMA resource which consumes even much more memory.
For the aforementioned x86_64 machine, i40iw alone consumes 1513.7MB.
With the module parameter "resource_profile=2", the memory consumption
could be reduced to ~300M which is still too much for kdump
(crasherknel=auto).
A user needs to reserve sufficient memory for kdump kernel if he/she
wants to enable RDMA for kdump. And the user may also need to instruct
the initramfs tool to build the i40iw driver into the initramfs since
the initramfs tool may not include the i40iw driver by default.
Change in v1:
- drop the patch that prevents i40iw client from starting for
kdump [Jakub Kicinski]
