Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] arm64: kdump: Support crashkernel=X fall back to reserve region above DMA zones

For crashkernel=X without '@offset', select a region within DMA zones
first, and fall back to reserve region above DMA zones. This allows
users to use the same configuration on multiple platforms.

Not a fan of '!!', it is converted automatically. If you don't like the
conversion, just initialise fixed_base to false and here:

if (crash_base) {
fixed_base = true;
crash_max = crash_base + crash_size;
}

I'm not sure this comment makes sense. If !crash_base, it doesn't mean
the kernel failed to fully allocate low memory. crash_max here could be
CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX if crashkerne=X,high was specified. Maybe says
something like "If the first attempt was for low memory, fall back to
high ..."

The retry logic looks fine, it only happens once as crash_max is
updated.

OK, This way would be better.

This description is accurate. I'll update. Thanks.
