The crash_exclude_mem_range() function can only handle one memory region a time. It will fail in the case in which the passed in area covers several memory regions. In this case, it will only exclude the first region, then return, but leave the later regions unsolved. E.g in a NEC system with two usable RAM regions inside the low 1M: ... BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000003efff] usable BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000000003f000-0x000000000003ffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000040000-0x000000000009ffff] usable It will only exclude the memory region [0, 0x3efff], the memory region [0x40000, 0x9ffff] will still be added into /proc/vmcore, which may cause the following failure when dumping vmcore: ioremap on RAM at 0x0000000000040000 - 0x0000000000040fff WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 665 at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:186 __ioremap_caller+0x2c7/0x2e0 ... RIP: 0010:__ioremap_caller+0x2c7/0x2e0 ... cp: error reading '/proc/vmcore': Cannot allocate memory kdump: saving vmcore failed In order to fix this bug, let's extend the crash_exclude_mem_range() to handle the overlapping ranges.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
