Commit 0962e8004e97 ("powerpc/prom: Scan reserved-ranges node for
memory reservations") enabled support to parse reserved-ranges DT
node and reserve kernel memory falling in these ranges for F/W
purposes. Memory reserved for FADump should not overlap with these
ranges as it could corrupt memory meant for F/W or crash'ed kernel
memory to be exported as vmcore.
But since commit 579ca1a27675 ("powerpc/fadump: make use of memblock's
bottom up allocation mode"), memblock_find_in_range() is being used to
find the appropriate area to reserve memory for FADump, which can't
account for reserved-ranges as these ranges are reserved only after
FADump memory reservation.
With reserved-ranges now being populated during early boot, look out
for these memory ranges while reserving memory for FADump. Without
this change, MPIPL on PowerNV systems aborts with hostboot failure,
when memory reserved for FADump is less than 4096MB.

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.
