Function init_resources() allocates a boot memory block to hold an array of
resources which it adds to iomem_resource. The array is filled in from its
end and the function then attempts to free any unused memory at the
beginning. The problem is that size of the unused memory is incorrectly
calculated and this can result in releasing memory which is in use by
active resources. Their data then gets corrupted later when the memory is
reused by a different part of the system.
Fix the size of the released memory to correctly match the number of unused
resource entries.

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.
