Dump filtering for kernels v4.7+ is failing because of kernel commit
0139aa7b7fa1
which changed _count to _refcount in struct page. The below makedumpfile tool
commit fixes this:
commit 2c21d4656e8d3c2af2b1e14809d076941ae69e96
Author: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuzn...@redhat.com>

[PATCH v2] Support _count -> _refcount rename in struct page
_count member was renamed to _refcount in linux commit 0139aa7b7fa12
("mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcount") and this
broke makedumpfile. The reason for making the change was to find all users
accessing it directly and not through the recommended API. I tried
suggesting to revert the change but failed, I see no other choice than to
start supporting both _count and _refcount in makedumpfile.
