+ crashkernel=size[KMG],cma
+ [KNL, X86] Reserve additional crash kernel memory from
+ CMA. This reservation is usable by the first system's
+ userspace memory and kernel movable allocations (memory
+ balloon, zswap). Pages allocated from this memory range
+ will not be included in the vmcore so this should not
+ be used if dumping of userspace memory is intended and
+ it has to be expected that some movable kernel pages
+ may be missing from the dump.
+
+ A standard crashkernel reservation, as described above,
+ is still needed to hold the crash kernel and initrd.
+
+ This option increases the risk of a kdump failure: DMA
+ transfers configured by the first kernel may end up
+ corrupting the second kernel's memory.
+
+ This reservation method is intended for systems that
+ can't afford to sacrifice enough memory for standard
+ crashkernel reservation and where less reliable and
+ possibly incomplete kdump is preferable to no kdump at
+ all.
