When increasing the array size in memblock_double_array() and the slab
is not yet available, a call to memblock_find_in_range() is used to
reserve/allocate memory. However, the range returned may not have been
accepted, which can result in a crash when booting an SNP guest:

Mitigate this by calling accept_memory() on the memory range returned
before the slab is available.
Prior to v6.12, the accept_memory() interface used a 'start' and 'end'
parameter instead of 'start' and 'size', therefore the accept_memory()
call must be adjusted to specify 'start + size' for 'end' when applying
to kernels prior to v6.12.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # see patch description, needs adjustments for <= 6.11

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.
