I suggested this in below discussion thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZYEOshALGbDKwSdc@MiWiFi-R3L-srv/T/#u

So it would be good if squashing this into patch 3 of another patch
thread you are asking:
[PATCH 3/3] crash_core: fix and simplify the logic of crash_exclude_mem_range()

And I would suggest withdrawing Yuntao's below patch on your
mm-nonmm-unstable branch.

961c69e9f1bf x86/crash: fix potential cmem->ranges array overflow

Becase there's better one to fix the potential oob from fuqiang,
although fuqiang need improve his patch log.
