e820__end_of_ram_pfn() is used to calculate max_pfn which, among other things, guides where direct mapping ends. Any memory above max_pfn is not going to be present in the direct mapping. e820__end_of_ram_pfn() finds the end of the RAM based on the highest E820_TYPE_RAM range. But it doesn't includes E820_TYPE_ACPI ranges into calculation. Despite the name, E820_TYPE_ACPI covers not only ACPI data, but also EFI tables and might be required by kernel to function properly. Usually the problem is hidden because there is some E820_TYPE_RAM memory above E820_TYPE_ACPI. But crashkernel only presents pre-allocated crash memory as E820_TYPE_RAM on boot. If the pre-allocated range is small, it can fit under the last E820_TYPE_ACPI range. Modify e820__end_of_ram_pfn() and e820__end_of_low_ram_pfn() to cover E820_TYPE_ACPI memory. The problem was discovered during debugging kexec for TDX guest. TDX guest uses E820_TYPE_ACPI to store the unaccepted memory bitmap and pass it between the kernels on kexec. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
