kernel/resource: make walk_system_ram_res() find all busy IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resources
Patch series "kernel/resource: make walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res() search the whole tree", v2. Playing with kdump+virtio-mem I noticed that kexec_file_load() does not consider System RAM added via dax/kmem and virtio-mem when preparing the elf header for kdump. Looking into the details, the logic used in walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res() seems to be outdated. walk_system_ram_range() already does the right thing, let's change walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res(), and clean up. Loading a kdump kernel via "kexec -p -s" ... will result in the kdump kernel to also dump dax/kmem and virtio-mem added System RAM now. Note: kexec-tools on x86-64 also have to be updated to consider this memory in the kexec_load() case when processing /proc/iomem. This patch (of 3): It used to be true that we can have system RAM (IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_BUSY) only on the first level in the resource tree. However, this is no longer holds for driver-managed system RAM (i.e., added via dax/kmem and virtio-mem), which gets added on lower levels, for example, inside device containers. We have two users of walk_system_ram_res(), which currently only consideres the first level: a) kernel/kexec_file.c:kexec_walk_resources() -- We properly skip IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED resources via locate_mem_hole_callback(), so even after this change, we won't be placing kexec images onto dax/kmem and virtio-mem added memory. No change. b) arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:fill_up_crash_elf_data() -- we're currently not adding relevant ranges to the crash elf header, resulting in them not getting dumped via kdump. This change fixes loading a crashkernel via kexec_file_load() and including dax/kmem and virtio-mem added System RAM in the crashdump on x86-64. Note that e.g,, arm64 relies on memblock data and, therefore, always considers all added System RAM already. Let's find all IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_BUSY resources, making the function behave like walk_system_ram_range().
