[PATCH 3/3] mm: Fix bugs in region_is_ram()

From: Toshi Kani
Date: Fri Jun 19 2015 - 17:45:11 EST


region_is_ram(), which looks up the resource to check if
a target range is RAM, always returns -1 due to a bug in
the range check. It always breaks the loop at the first
entry of the resouce table.

The function compares p->flags and flags, which also has
a bug. The flags is declared as int, which makes it as
a negative value with IORESOURCE_BUSY (0x80000000) set
while p->flags is unsigned long.

Fix the range check and flags so that region_is_ram()
works as advertised.
