In memmap_exclude_ranges(), there will exclude elfheader from

always allocated at crashk_res.start. It seems that there won't be a
split a new range. But it depends on the allocation position of
elfheader in crashk_res. To avoid potential out of bounds in future, Set
the array size to 2.
If so, I would suggest to add extra slot for low 1M too in
fill_up_crash_elf_data() lest the low 1M could be changed in the future,
e.g [start, 1M].


Hi Baoquan

This seems to be better for future maintenance. Thank you for your suggestion.

But similar issue will not exist in fill_up_crash_elf_data(). Because
the range to be excluded is [0, 1M], start (0) is special and will not
appear in the middle of existing cmem->ranges[]. I added a comment to
explain it.

And you didn't mention moving above code block up in log. I would
suggest keeping it as is because it looks more reasonable to be adjacent
to the following cmem->ranges[] handling.

Yes, baoquan, keeping it as it is may be more coherent.I will post a new patch later.

Thanks
