kexec: fix a memory leak in crash_shrink_memory()
Patch series "kexec: enable kexec_crash_size to support two crash kernel regions". When crashkernel=X fails to reserve region under 4G, it will fall back to reserve region above 4G and a region of the default size will also be reserved under 4G. Unfortunately, /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size only supports one crash kernel region now, the user cannot sense the low memory reserved by reading /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size. Also, low memory cannot be freed by writing this file. For example: resource_size(crashk_res) = 512M resource_size(crashk_low_res) = 256M The result of 'cat /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size' is 512M, but it should be 768M. When we execute 'echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size', the size of crashk_res becomes 0 and resource_size(crashk_low_res) is still 256 MB, which is incorrect. Since crashk_res manages the memory with high address and crashk_low_res manages the memory with low address, crashk_low_res is shrunken only when all crashk_res is shrunken. And because when there is only one crash kernel region, crashk_res is always used. Therefore, if all crashk_res is shrunken and crashk_low_res still exists, swap them. This patch (of 6): If the value of parameter 'new_size' is in the semi-open and semi-closed interval (crashk_res.end - KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN + 1, crashk_res.end], the calculation result of ram_res is: ram_res->start = crashk_res.end + 1 ram_res->end = crashk_res.end The operation of insert_resource() fails, and ram_res is not added to iomem_resource. As a result, the memory of the control block ram_res is leaked. In fact, on all architectures, the start address and size of crashk_res are already aligned by KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN. Therefore, we do not need to round up crashk_res.start again. Instead, we should round up 'new_size' in advance.
