Subject: [patch] x86/pat: pass correct address to sanitize_phys

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.

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

Ping? This patch fixes a real problem seen in the field. Can I get
some review?

Thanks!

Doesn't this trigger the WARN() right below that offending line?

OK, will do.

Start is inclusive, end is exclusive, so start <= x < end. I used the
notation found here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_(mathematics)

If that's too confusing, I can stick to inclusive vs exclusive verbiage.

It does. I'll include the warning message in the v2 posting.

That works for me (modulo the interval notation), thanks for the
suggestion.

Thanks!
