When running Active Memory Sharing, the Collaborative Memory Manager (CMM) may mark some pages as "loaned" with the hypervisor. Periodically, the CMM will query the hypervisor for a loan request, which is a single signed value. When kexec'ing into a kdump kernel, the CMM driver in the kdump kernel is not aware of the pages the previous kernel had marked as "loaned", so the hypervisor and the CMM driver are out of sync. This results in the CMM driver getting a negative loan request, which can then get treated as a large unsigned value and can cause kdump to hang due to the CMM driver inflating too large. Since there really is no clean way for the CMM driver in the kdump kernel to clean this up, simply disable CMM in the kdump kernel. This fixes hangs we were seeing doing kdump with AMS.

With this option a system running in an LPAR can be given more

memory than physically available and will allow firmware to

Select this option, if you want to enable the kernel interface
|
|
to reduce the memory size of the system. This is accomplished
|
|
by allocating pages of memory and put them "on hold". This only
|
|
makes sense for a system running in an LPAR where the unused pages
|
|
will be reused for other LPARs. The interface allows firmware to
|
|
balance memory across many LPARs.
