I've been evaluating your suggestion and see no downsides, except contigmem default behavior change, but does it have non-DPDK users? If no one objects, I'll prepare v3 doing the following: 1) everything from v2, 2) except always mark contigmem buffers as dumpable, 3) add --dump-mapped back and make DPDK disable dumping by default. As a result, in order to include mapped memory in coredump: * FreeBSD will require only "--dump-mapped"; * Linux will require both "coredump_filter" setup and "--dump-mapped".
