size (see Fig. 1). This area is *not* released: this region will
be kept permanently reserved, so that it can act as a receptacle
for a copy of the boot memory content in addition to CPU state
-and HPTE region, in the case a crash does occur.
+and HPTE region, in the case a crash does occur. Since this reserved
+memory area is used only after the system crash, there is no point in
+blocking this significant chunk of memory from production kernel.
+Hence, the implementation uses the Linux kernel's Contiguous Memory
+Allocator (CMA) for memory reservation if CMA is configured for kernel.
+With CMA reservation this memory will be available for applications to
+use it, while kernel is prevented from using it. With this fadump will
+still be able to capture all of the kernel memory and most of the user
+space memory except the user pages that were present in CMA region.
o Memory Reservation during first kernel
1. Set config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP=y and build kernel.
2. Boot into linux kernel with 'fadump=on' kernel cmdline option.
+ By default, fadump reserved memory will be initialized as CMA area.
+ Alternatively, user can boot linux kernel with 'fadump=nocma' to
+ prevent fadump to use CMA.
3. Optionally, user can also set 'crashkernel=' kernel cmdline
to specify size of the memory to reserve for boot memory dump
preservation.
2. If firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve memory then it
will fallback to existing kdump mechanism if 'crashkernel='
option is set at kernel cmdline.
+ 3. if user wants to capture all of user space memory and ok with
+ reserved memory not available to production system, then
+ 'fadump=nocma' kernel parameter can be used to fallback to
+ old behaviour.
