Reduce the likelihood of a such scenario, by folding adjacent crash memory ranges which minimizes the total number of PT_LOAD segments.

Right. This hunk in fadump_setup_crash_memory_ranges() is unnecessary. Can be dropped. Also, I missed out on adding "#include <linux/slab.h>". Though it compiles fine with
upstream kernel, will add and post v3 just to be safe..
Rest looks fine to me. Reviewed-by: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mah...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
