Normally, the MPI firmware is reset when an MPI dump is collected. If an unsaved MPI dump exists in the driver, though, an alternate mechanism is used. This mechanism, which was not fully correct, is not recommended and instead an MPI dump template walk is suggested to perform the MPI reset. To allow for the MPI dump template walk, extra space is reserved in the MPI dump buffer which gets used only when there is already an MPI dump in place.

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.
