[PATCH RFC 4/8] kdump: expose PG_offline

From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Fri Apr 13 2018 - 09:32:26 EST


This allows user space to skip pages that are offline when dumping. This is
especially relevant when dealing with pages that have been unplugged in
the context of virtualization, and their backing storage has already
been freed.
