For fadump to work successfully there should not be any holes in reserved memory ranges where kernel has asked firmware to move the content of old kernel memory in event of crash. Now that fadump uses CMA for reserved area, this memory area is now not protected from hot-remove operations unless it is cma allocated. Hence, fadump service can fail to re-register after the hot-remove operation, if hot-removed memory belongs to fadump reserved region. To avoid this make sure that memory from fadump reserved area is not hot-removable if fadump is registered. However, if user still wants to remove that memory, he can do so by manually stopping fadump service before hot-remove operation.
