From: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently it is possible to set the crash_size via the sysfs
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size even if no crash kernel memory has
been defined with the "crashkernel" parameter. In this case
"crashk_res" is not initialized and crashk_res.start = crashk_res.end = 0.
Unfortunately resource_size(&crashk_res) returns 1 in this case.
This breaks the s390 implementation of crash_(un)map_reserved_pages().
To fix the problem the correct "old_size" is now calculated in
crash_shrink_memory(). "old_size is set to "0" if crashk_res is
not initialized. With this change crash_shrink_memory() will do nothing,
when "crashk_res" is not initialized. It will return "0" for
"echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" and -EINVAL for
"echo [not zero] > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size".
