Subject: Load crash kernel high on x86
References: bsc#946365
Patch-mainline: post-v2.0.10
Git-commit: 4fbf781eb0383a491906d3851b066657b29c2816
There may be more than one crash kernel regions on x86. Currently,
kexec-tools picks the largest one. If high reservation is smaller
than low, it will try to load panic kernel low. However, the kexec
syscall checks that target address is within crashk_res boundaries,
so attempts to load crash kernel low result in -EADDRNOTAVAIL, and
kexec prints out this error message:
kexec_load failed: Cannot assign requested address
Looking at the logic in arch/x86/kernel/setup.c, there are only two
possible layouts:
1. crashk_res is below 4G, and there is only one region,
2. crashk_res is above 4G, and crashk_low_res is below 4G
In either case, kexec-tools must pick the highest region.
Changelog:
* v3: rename function to get_crash_kernel_load_range
* v2: remove unnecessary local variables
