Subject: [patch] x86/pat: pass correct address to sanitize_phys
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2021 15:48:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <x49tuknmosl.fsf@segfault.boston.devel.redhat.com> (raw)
memtype_reserve takes an address range of the form [start, end). It
then passes the start and end addresses to sanitize_phys, which is meant
to operate on the inclusive addresses. If end falls at the end of the
physical address space, sanitize_phys will return 0. This can result in
drivers failing to load:
[ 10.000087] mpt3sas_cm0: unable to map adapter memory! or resource not found
[ 10.000334] mpt3sas_cm0: failure at drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_scsih.c:10597/_scsih_probe()!
Fix this by passing the inclusive end address to sanitize_phys.
Fixes: 510ee090abc3 ("x86/mm/pat: Prepare {reserve, free}_memtype() for "decoy" addresses")

It might be worth adding a comment, here. If there are any suggestions
on what a sane wording would be, I'm all ears.
