[PATCH v3] powerpc/fadump: define MIN_RMA in bytes rather than MB

From: Sayali Patil <hidden>
Date: 2026-06-16 06:14:49
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

The MIN_RMA size checks in fadump_setup_param_area() use
(MIN_RMA * 1024 * 1024), which is evaluated in int and can
overflow when MIN_RMA is increased to values such as SZ_2G,
triggering compiler warnings such as:

warning: integer overflow in expression of type 'int'
results in '0' [-Woverflow]

Define MIN_RMA directly in bytes using SZ_1M and update the
callers accordingly. This avoids repeated unit conversions and
prevents integer overflow.

Also convert MIN_RMA back to MB when populating the firmware
architecture vector, since firmware expects the value in MB.
