Thanks for pointing that.
Looking in the Kconfig file, it seems that all memory models are in a default-yes state, thought the select list (in my case) only propose SPARSE.
That implies that other CONFIG options to be valid.
Will check and try to fix it before digging in the suggested code below.
hm, probably I've never seen a system that has both mem_map and mem_section, but it looks like makedumpfile works fine.. i.e. recognizes it as SPARSEMEM_EXTREME correctly.

Yes, this says it's sane, and its paddr also looks sane..
So I'm not sure why read_diskdump() returns READ_ERROR, could you debug it?
I'm suspecting the read() below in cache_page() returns something, e.g.
--- a/diskdump.c
+++ b/diskdump.c
@@ -1189,10 +1189,13 @@ cache_page(physaddr_t paddr)
return PAGE_INCOMPLETE;
}
} else {
+ ssize_t r;
if (lseek(dd->dfd, pd.offset, SEEK_SET) == failed)
return SEEK_ERROR;
- if (read(dd->dfd, dd->compressed_page, pd.size) != pd.size)
+ if ((r = read(dd->dfd, dd->compressed_page, pd.size)) != pd.size) {
+ error(INFO, "errno=%d r=%ld pd.size=%u\n",
+ errno, r, pd.size);
return READ_ERROR;
+ }
}
if (pd.flags & DUMP_DH_COMPRESSED_ZLIB) {
although another path may be returning it.
