[PATCH] powerpc/kexec_file: Use inclusive range checks in add_usable_mem()

From: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>
Date: 2026-08-09 16:25:21
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

add_usable_mem() adds usable memory ranges for the kdump kernel.

The ranges are inclusive, but the partial overlap check uses exclusive
comparisons. This skips ranges with base == loc_end or end == loc_base.
Use inclusive comparisons instead.

Fixes: 7c64e21a1c5a ("powerpc/kexec_file: Restrict memory usage of kdump kernel")
