Hi Mike,

Thanks for the patch! I suggest always cc kexec list for kexec/kdump
patches.

I think 1 range should be fine, have you tested 1?

The code is just excluding the elf header space which will be loaded
first before anything else so I assume it will be just at the start of
the crashkernel resource region.  Thus [a b] after exclude the start
part will be [c b].  But I have not read the code for long time, maybe I
need to double check.

But anyway 2 would be good since the code is obscure we can easily miss
it in the future.  See how other people think.

Thanks for the patch, can you try below?
vzalloc(struct_size(cmem, ranges, 2));

Thanks
