The patch titled
     kexec: fix OOPS in crash_kernel_shrink
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kexec-fix-oops-in-crash_kernel_shrink.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: kexec: fix OOPS in crash_kernel_shrink
From: Vitaly Mayatskikh <v.mayatskih@gmail.com>

Two "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" OOPSes kernel.  Also content
of this file is invalid after first shrink to zero: it shows 1 instead of
0.

This scenario is unlikely to happen often (root privs, valid crashkernel=
in cmdline, dump-capture kernel not loaded), I hit it only by chance.

This patch fixes it.
