In kdump kernel mode, the driver works in reduced functionality mode with some features disabled such as reduced MSI-X count and RDPQ disabled, etc. However, the firmware is not aware of this mode in some cases, which results in undefined behavior. To address this, the driver informs the firmware about the kdump mode through MPI capabilities bit during driver initialization. This allows firmware to adjust its behavior accordingly.

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.
