Michael Weiser reported that he got this error during a kexec rebooting: esrt: Unsupported ESRT version 2904149718861218184. The ESRT memory stays in EFI boot services data, and it was reserved in kernel via efi_mem_reserve(). The initial purpose of the reservation is to reuse the EFI boot services data across kexec reboot. For example the BGRT image data and some ESRT memory like Michael reported. But although the memory is reserved it is not updated in the X86 E820 table, and kexec_file_load() iterates system RAM in the IO resource list to find places for kernel, initramfs and other stuff. In Michael's case the kexec loaded initramfs overwrote the ESRT memory and then the failure happened. Since kexec_file_load() depends on the E820 table being updated, just fix this by updating the reserved EFI boot services memory as reserved type in E820. Originally any memory descriptors with EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME attribute are bypassed in the reservation code path because they are assumed as reserved. But the reservation is still needed for multiple kexec reboots, and it is the only possible case we come here thus just drop the code chunk, then everything works without side effects. On my machine the ESRT memory sits in an EFI runtime data range, it does not trigger the problem, but I successfully tested with BGRT instead. both kexec_load() and kexec_file_load() work and kdump works as well.

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 Restructured Text 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.
