Subject: Re: [PATCH v1 5/8] s390/kdump: Exclude crashkernel CMA memory from vmcore

> The kdump kernel will be using the crashkernel CMA memory of the
> crashed kernel, so it must not be a part of the dump.
>
> Keep the CMA ranges handed over by the crashed kernel in oldmem_data.
> Add them to oldmem_type next to the crashkernel memory, so that no
> PT_LOAD headers are created for them.
>
> Merge adjacent regions, such as CMA areas placed back to back or next
> to the crashkernel memory. Otherwise for_each_physmem_range() returns an
> empty range between them, which ends up as an empty PT_LOAD header.
>
> Use the original ranges even if mem= limits usable memory in the kdump
> kernel. Build the list without depending on CONFIG_CMA in that kernel.
