The patch titled
Subject: x86: kexec_file: lift CRASH_MAX_RANGES limit on crash_mem buffer
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
x86-kexec_file-lift-crash_max_ranges-limit-on-crash_mem-buffer.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: AKASHI Takahiro <takahiro.akashi@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: x86: kexec_file: lift CRASH_MAX_RANGES limit on crash_mem buffer
While CRASH_MAX_RANGES (== 16) seems to be good enough, fixed-number array
is not a good idea in general.
In this patch, size of crash_mem buffer is calculated as before and the
buffer is now dynamically allocated. This change also allows removing
crash_elf_data structure.
