Subject: [PATCH v2] makedumpfile: exclude pages that are logically offline
Date:   Thu, 22 Nov 2018 11:09:38 +0100
Message-Id: <20181122100938.5567-1-david@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20181122100627.5189-1-david@redhat.com>
References: <20181122100627.5189-1-david@redhat.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Linux marks pages that are logically offline via a page flag (map count).
Such pages e.g. include pages infated as part of a balloon driver or
pages that were not actually onlined when onlining the whole section.

While the hypervisor usually allows to read such inflated memory, we
basically read and dump data that is completely irrelevant. Also, this
might result in quite some overhead in the hypervisor. In addition,
we saw some problems under Hyper-V, whereby we can crash the kernel by
dumping, when reading memory of a partially onlined memory segment
(for memory added by the Hyper-V balloon driver).

Therefore, don't read and dump pages that are marked as being logically
offline.

- Fix PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE vs. PAGE_OFFLINE_MAPCOUNT_VALUE
