This failure is easily reproducible on Linux next tag 20210118 above.

Ok, so in this part of the log,

it seems that the data that was requested to be dumped with MADV_DODUMP is indeed completely absent.
There was exactly one commit that got merged between next-20210115 and next-20120118 related to core dumps: 8a3cc755b138 ("coredump: don't bother with do_truncate()"). Adding Al Viro to Cc for that.
Naresh, could you try reverting that patch?
