No need to look further when that single region is found.

I was looking at the test above that determines if the current memblock
contains the kernel:

if (reg->base <= vmlinux_end && vmlinux_end <= end)

Shouldn't it be:

if (reg->base <= vmlinux_start && vmlinux_end <= end)

?

Yes, I think you are right. Would you like to send a patch that fixes this?


Otherwise, we can indeed stop as soon as we found the region containing
the kernel, so feel free to add:
