Hello Pratyush,

>commit 2d070eab2e82 "mm: consider zone which is not fully populated to
>have holes" added a new flag SECTION_IS_ONLINE and therefore
>SECTION_MAP_MASK has been changed. We are not able to find correct
>mem_map in makedumpfile for kernel version v4.13-rc1 and onward because
>of the above kernel change.

I think this condition should be "< KERNEL_VERSION(4, 13, 0)",
actually v4.12.7 doesn't have SECTION_IS_ONLINE.

Thanks,
