[PATCH] ppc/fadump: collect dump if the collected size is lesser than reserved

From: Shivang Upadhyay

Date: Tue Jul 14 2026 - 13:34:08 EST


When a machine is subjected to CPUs add/remove, using dlpar
operations, the number of collected CPU_NOTES can change.
As per PAPR, collected dump size should not be more than
allocated size. Reflecting the same in source.
