+Subject: [PATCH 3/4] efi: efi_memmap_insert(): don't insert a region more than
+ once
+
+Some machines, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad W541 with firmware GNET80WW
+(2.28), include memory map entries with phys_addr=0x0 and num_pages=0.
+
+When this is true on a machine with an ESRT config table,
+efi_esrt_init() will try to reserve that table with efi_mem_reserve().
+When it does, efi_arch_mem_reserve() will use efi_mem_desc_lookup() to
+find the memory map in question, call efi_memmap_split_count() to
+determine how many regions it will be split into, allocates new ram for
+the map, and calls efi_memmap_insert() to add the entry.
+
+efi_memmap_insert() iterates across all regions in the old map, and for
+each region, it tests whether the address for the new map is within that
+region. Unfortunately we'll try to insert the new map in *each* of
+these entries, causing even more duplicate entries. But
+efi_memmap_split_count() only returned the split count for the first
+entry, because it was called with the result of efi_mem_desc_lookup(),
+which only returns the first entry it came across. As a result, this
+will overflow the memory map's allocation and eventually panic.
+
+Unfortunately the method of computing the size does not handle the
+0xffffffffffffffff or 0x0 edge cases well, and all valid addresses wind
+up being covered by any such entry. Even if the math weren't off by 1
+byte in the num_pages=0 case, a duplicate entry in the table, or an
+entry with num_pages of ((u64)-1LL >> EFI_PAGE_SHIFT) or (u64)-1LL (i.e.
+either the maximum number of virtually addressable pages or just the
+largest value you can stuff in the field) would have the same effect.
+
+In any case, if we see more than one memory map in efi_memmap_insert()
+that covers the same region, it is an error to try to split up more than
+one of them, overflowing the allocation. So this makes it never try to
+split more than one region per invocation of efi_arch_mem_reserve().
+
+I have not attempted to address the math error.
