Exactly.

>For s390 we have a 1:1 mapping for the kernel physical memory that starts with

I understand why your patch works on s390x, so how about this way ?

 1. Define "is_phys_addr()" for --mem-usage.
 2. Implement is_phys_addr() using is_iomem_phys_addr() for s390x
    while x86_64 uses is_vmalloc_addr_x86_64().
 3. Use is_phys_addr() instead of is_vmalloc_addr() in get_kcore_dump_loads().


Thanks,
Atsushi Kumagai
