kdump: add missing RAM resource in crash_shrink_memory()
When shrinking crashkernel memory using /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size for the newly added memory no RAM resource is created at the moment. Example: $ cat /proc/iomem 00000000-bfffffff : System RAM 00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code 005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data 009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss c0000000-cfffffff : Crash kernel d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size $ cat /proc/iomem 00000000-bfffffff : System RAM 00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code 005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data 009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss <<-- here is System RAM missing d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM One result of this bug is that the memory chunk can never be set offline using memory hotplug. With this patch I insert a new "System RAM" resource for the released memory. Then the upper example looks like the following: $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size $ cat /proc/iomem 00000000-bfffffff : System RAM 00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code 005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data 009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss c0000000-cfffffff : System RAM <<-- new rescoure d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM And now I can set chunk c0000000-cfffffff offline.
