Currently significant amount of memory is reserved only in kernel booted to capture kernel dump using the fa_dump method. Kernels compiled with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT will initialize only certain size memory per node. The certain size takes into account the dentry and inode cache sizes. Currently the cache sizes are calculated based on the total system memory including the reserved memory. However such a kernel when booting the same kernel as fadump kernel will not be able to allocate the required amount of memory to suffice for the dentry and inode caches. This results in crashes like Hence only implement arch_reserved_kernel_pages() for CONFIG_FA_DUMP configurations. The amount reserved will be reduced while calculating the large caches and will avoid crashes like the below on large systems such as 32 TB systems.
