Good. Thank you for testing.

Ah, I got it. I probably could reproduce the issue:
---
Excluding unnecessary pages : [100.0 %] \
readpage_kdump_compressed: pfn(2fc1000) is excluded from vmcore.
readmem: type_addr: 1, addr:2fc1000000, size:4096
read_pfn: Can't get the page data.
...
writeout_multiple_dumpfiles: Child process(30993) finished incompletely.(256)
makedumpfile Failed.
---
Refiltering was the factor that makedumpfile failed, but I think this bug
also can break the dumpfile silently by excluding pages wrongly even in
first filtering.
I guess this bug was hard to debug. Thank you so much for working on this!
Modified your patch and pushed.
