[Xen-devel] [patch] crashkernel allocation failure #1

[Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

  Hi,

The kexec crash kernel area allocation code does some effort to move the 
images (i.e. kernel+initrd) out of the way, so the crashkernel area can 
be allocated at the default location (@16m).
In case initial_images_end is not page aligned a single page in the 
middle of the crash kernel area is leaked though, making the whole move 
effort fail.
The attached patch fixed that by rounding up initial_images_end to the 
next page boundary.
please apply,
  Gerd
