For fadump to work successfully there should not be any holes in reserved memory ranges where kernel has asked firmware to move the content of old kernel memory in event of crash. Now that fadump uses CMA for reserved area, this memory area is now not protected from hot-remove operations unless it is cma allocated. Hence, fadump service can fail to re-register after the hot-remove operation, if hot-removed memory belongs to fadump reserved region. To avoid this make sure that memory from fadump reserved area is not hot-removable if fadump is registered. However, if user still wants to remove that memory, he can do so by manually stopping fadump service before hot-remove operation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
